Have you ever heard of a website called “wikihow.com”?
It’s similar to “Wikipedia” (an online dictionary that is written and maintained by the community), except it specifically pertains to “How To” articles.
There’s not a ton of gun stuff on there unfortunately, but there ARE a few highly valuable articles.
One of the best that I’ve come across in a long time was one called:
How to Do Basic First Aid
The short article gives a great summary of very basic first aid, but the value is in the links that you find toward the end of the short article, such as “How to Stop Bleeding”, “How to Treat Shock”, How to Treat a Spinal Injury”, and “How to Treat a Gunshot Wound.”
As an aware person who carries concealed, we’ll stand a greater possibility of having to deal with this kind of thing.
The basic first-aid article begins like this:
“Basic first aid refers to the initial process of assessing and addressing the needs of someone who has been injured or is in physiological distress due to choking, a heart attack, allergic reactions, drugs or alcohol or other medical emergencies. Basic first aid allows you to quickly determine a person’s physical condition and the correct course of treatment. You should always seek professional medical help as soon as you are able, but following correct first aid procedures can be the difference between life and death.
Note: Much of this article deals with first aid for life threatening situations in which the victim is unresponsive. Many of these steps will not apply in situations where you already know the problem or the extent of the harm to a person. In that case, you should search for the specific article, or skim this one to find more information on addressing particular conditions.”
