Post shooting podcast

[Spaceballs]

In this link are 3 parts to a podcast called Post Incident Actions (as well as some other stuff)

https://ccwsafe.podbean.com/

I recommend all 3 parts. It's all pretty basic... don't make a statement to police without consulting your lawyer, don't be holding the gun in an agressive way when cops arrive, render aid to the guy you shot if possible (your lawyer will thank you for that one)

But it's all laid out very well with lawyers and cops giving perspective. And it's all stuff that you really can't hear too much.

The 3 parts total around about 2 hours ish... I found them to be a good use of my drive time.

Render aid??? If I render any aid to a deserving perp, it's into the next world.

I agree. And even if I don't go that far, no way I'm risking getting close enough to them to hurt me. Not to mention, I'm not a doctor nor EMS, so they can wait for trained personnel to arrive. I will call 911 though.

Eta: there's a reason cops handcuff people they shoot, even if they think they're already dead.

If the threat is over (and I mean I REALLY believe the threat is over) I would render aid.

Even if it's as simple as applying pressure to the wound to prevent blood loss... it would be nice to be able to show up in court and be able to show you really didn't want him to die.

Even a left wing prosecutor will have a tough time proving you were a trigger happy monster if you make some attemot to save the guy.

Give the podcast a listen. They make a really compelling argument for it.

Now if I don't believe the area is safe...different story.

Nope, not doing it. I was trained to cuff people after shooting them (never had to do it since I worked in a small suburb) and I don't carry cuffs. What if you think they're incapacitated and while you're applying that bandage they stab you? Why would I risk that just to please a prosecutor?

[Walleye Hunter]

I'd rather please the taxpayers who would have to foot all kinds of bills if the death-worthy perp survived.

Like in the movie 1917 when they tried to aid the German flyer.

I have a fairly difficult time getting up or down to the ground.

Is it appropriate to apply pressure with my foot? My cane?

Inquiring minds...

For you a tourniquet around the neck would work just fine :-)

For you a tourniquet around the neck would work just fine :-)

When I taught First Aid to Boy Scouts, especially to Cub Scouts, I would offer the following scenario:

• Your little brother has suffered a significant scalp laceration.
• Direct pressure is not stopping the bleeding.
• Where do you apply the tourniquet?

Those who had been around a while knew that "the neck" was the expected answer, given who the victim/patient was...
