There's always alot of posts on how to potentially have weapons in places that are supposed to be weapon free but I don't often see people talking about what to do to treat anyone that gets actually gets shot. I think many of us probably shoot at remote shooting ranges also. What should people who work in schools be wanting to keep in their desks other than a gun so they can treat their students, coworkers, or even themselves if they're one of the unfortunate few to be involved with something like that? What should I keep in a pouch on my range bag that might help save a life while waiting 10-15 minutes for paramedics to arrive?
I know there are some first aid classes centered around these things but they seem to be a leo/military type thing for the most part. What should your average person who knows basic first aid for bleeding like compression, elevation, and pressure points also know or have? I usually have about a dozen 4x4 sterile pads, a roll of stretchy gauze, an ace bandage, a couple pair of gloves, and some waterproof tape in my car just as handy things for patching up minor injuries that might happen during long commutes. What should I supplement this with? Does it need a training class to learn to use well?
