Guns aren't going away, so everyone needs to buy, carry at all times, and know how to use

[NightWatcher]

A first/trauma aid kit with a quick clotting sponge and tourniquet for gunshot wounds.

Keep one in your trunk in the ever increasing likelihood that you are witness to a tragic shooting or other horrific event.



What, did you think I was going to tell you to get a gun?

1. No a bad idea, no matter how many guns there are out there.

2. Already have one. Thanks!

3. In every car we have, I keep a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, a bottle of water..

.. a quart of oil, a blanket, a granola bar, and a small collection of hand tools.

4. The Boy Scout motto is "Be prepared".

Good job!

5. The weird part is wearing bullet resistant attire is prohibited in some places

You'd think that there would be a lobby for real under-armor and that a Kardashian would be model and spokesperson.

6. Where?

And why?

8. The why seems unclear but the prohibition includes people who society may wish to be targets

I was particularly impressed by category e.

(2)?Prohibition. Except as provided in subs. (4), (5), (5m), and (6), no person may possess body armor if any of the following applies to the person:
(a) The person has been convicted of a violent felony in this state and has not been pardoned for it.
(b) The person has been convicted of a crime elsewhere that would be a violent felony if committed in this state and has not been pardoned for it.
(c) The person has been adjudicated delinquent for an act that if committed by an adult in this state would be a violent felony.
(d) The person has been found not guilty of a violent felony in this state by reason of mental disease or defect.
(e) The person has been found not guilty of or not responsible for a crime elsewhere by reason of insanity or mental disease, defect, or illness if the crime would be a violent felony in this state.

7. You should certainly have one as there are millions of car accidents every year in the US.

9. Been carrying a small trauma kit for years.

I believe in preparedness.

Pistol? Check.

Fire extinguisher? Check.

First aid kit with more than badaids? Check?

Burglar alarm? Check.

Smoke detectors? Check.

Food, water, and emergency cold weather gear, gas can, tire patch and pump kit in trunk? Check.
