We've had endless discussions about the use of a firearm in various emergencies. Because a co-worker collapsed without warning today it got me to thinking that I would like to discuss this from a slightly different angle.
Lets say there was an emergency in which -you- were incapacitated such as a car accident, heart attack, stroke, or some other no-warning situation. What sorts of things might be done in advance to ensure the security of your sidearm while you are out of the equation?
-My wife knows how to unload, check, and secure all of my firearms and is generally aware of how I carry and where on my person.
-I have all my serial numbers recorded in multiple locations and my arms are all photographed six ways from Sunday.
-I'm also thinking that maybe my wife needs to be aware that if she got an emergency call she should also enquire as to the security of my sidearm. Hadn't thought about that until just now.
So... any other ideas?

On a related note, does anyone know if paramedics are trained at all with regards to firearms? I have a friend who is an ER nurse in a big, urban, hospital and she had to push like hell to get her department to recognize that teaching triage nurses to handle firearms safely was important.
