Reader Comments of the Week
“After a career in combat arms in the Army and several years as a DoD private security contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan, I have some experience with wounds and serious injuries. Outside of immediate death or shock to internal organs, bleeding in the number one killer. The average adult has about 1.2 to 1.5 gallons (4.5 to 5.5 liters) of blood in their body. This will evacuate very rapidly through a serious wound, so anyone who is serious about saving a life (theirs’s or someone else’s) needs to understand how to apply pressure bandages and tourniquets, as appropriate, and to use whatever they have at hand to stop the bleeding. And this will include the shock of the caregiver at the sheer volume of blood from the victim. Get some training and be prepared.”

“They call ECW’s LESS LETHAL for a reason. I’ve had to use 1 on a domestic guy had a combo unit (pacer/defibrillator) option was ECW or .45acp 1barb went into the device the medic unit brought him back but he died later that day beat his pregnant girlfriend until she had a miscarriage. That was about 5 years ago. Policy now is the Baton, hands on, or firearms. No pepper spray or electronic weapon. They were planning on stopping everything besides stick, hands on, or pistol/rifle/12ga 00buck”
– SEAN, in response to Stun Guns: How They Work
“Have an H&R w/.22 hornet my Brother brought back from his last tour. The.410 has taken a few dozen rabbits in the desert clearing out a friends farm untold squirrels for true Brunswick Stew. Extremely accurate to 15-25 yards with the right load. Anything Chiappa guns have yet to find 1that I’d trust my life too.”
