Bill's Note: Not being a medic, I don't endorse or not endorse any of the techniques or products in this article, but all in all these are points well taken. As the author points out, it doesn't have to be a GSW to yourself or others where having the ability to immediately respond may be needed. Personally, I'm still a little squeamish about tourniquets, but generally I'm only minutes away from at least basic emergency medical care. I am to the point where a trauma dressing is a normally carried piece of gear, the same as spare magazines or flashlight. And trauma/bandage shears are cheap and can literally be bought by the dozens and used for everything from cutting stains out of a carpet at a crime scene, cutting fingerprint tape, rope, webbing or, well, trauma and bandage stuff.
