I’ve been told that if you’re into shooting guns, sooner or later, you will have an accidental discharge. Hopefully, this will cause no damage beyond your pride, but there is a chance that you or your buddy might have an extra hole that’s letting all that red stuff come out. There’s also the bit where if you ever get into exchanging fire with a bad guy, you might catch one or two shots. Ok, so what do you do in that case? Well, obviously call for EMS since they will have a heck of a lot more training than most of us, but they, like all emergency services, tend to be at least a few minutes away.
WizardPC and I intend to learn what to do in those few minutes this Saturday.
The local chapter of the Zombie Squad is hosting a class on dealing with traumatic injuries Saturday afternoon at the local REI store. Zombie Squad is a bunch of folks that are into disaster preparedness and… well… watching zombie movies. They also team up with the Red Cross and similar organizations a lot for blood drives, helping folks deal with localized disasters (fires, tornados, etc), and training for emergency situations. While I’ve yet to meet the local folks, I’ve met folks from the founding chapter in St. Louis a few times and they seem like great folks and I plan on joining their ranks.
