First Aid Kit Readiness

To be fair, how could he have reasonably foreseen such an event? Shoot, when I read Crusty's initial post, my immediate reaction was to dismiss the story as total BS, because it didn't seem plausible that the woman could've inadvertently pulled through a double-action trigger while pointing the revolver at herself. I still can't conceive how it can happen, even after watching videos of unintentional "double taps" with .500 S&W revolvers.

Fortunately -- or unfortunately, depending upon how you look at it -- it's highly unlikely that I'll ever need to be concerned about such matters...

Truly sad, however unlikely. Last year, I read where an unfortunate woman fatally shot herself in the head due to such an incident. Crusty's subject was lucky enough to survive the encounter.
