    Seeking advice about trauma kits

    I think we all did that! You can always tell a newly minted EMT or Paramedic by the amount of items on their "bat belt" which could include a Lifepac10 and rib spreaders!

    Percentage of prohibited people who try to buy guns?

    I just retired from a large Sheriff's Office in Florida where I worked in the Records Department. We routinely got FAX's from the FBI wanting info on decades old battery cases for NICS. Back then, "domestic violence" wasn't a crime category, so they were fishing for battery cases that could...
