First Aid Kit Readiness

[biodsl]

I put together and keep a good blow out bag in my pickup after an incident at my local range. A despicable POS gave his girlfriend a .500 S&W Magnum to shoot in a tactical bay since she'd never fired a gun before and he thought it would be funny. She shot the first round, the muzzle blew back and she unintentionally pulled off another one through her shoulder, blowing out a huge hole.

There happened to be an ex Spec Ops guy at the range who kept a blow out bag in his car, he ran and got it and saved her life with it. The EMT's wouldn't even have gotten there before she was gone.

I hope she sued him for everything he was worth.

Great thread. Thanks for the reminder for me to get my stuff together. More importantly; is there a good source of training for civilians specifically for gunshots/combat wounds? I live in the PNW. Anything in this region?
