Buckshot Bob Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Tourniquet can be loosened temporarily to allow some blood flow then re applied if need be. If pressure works and is practical great, because they fricken hurt, but it’s also great to have another tool in the toolbox. And if practical you can use it on yourself and regulate blood flow where you may not be able to apply pressure. I know a couple of former medics and emt’s that don’t leave home without it .

Cypress Sun Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I was taught long ago how to make a tourniquet out of almost any rag or cut up shirt/pants or vine or rope and a stick of some kind. Never had to use that knowledge, hope I never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 You shouldn't use home made tourniquets, or loosen them once they are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Terrorism will come here. They let anyone in with no regard for assimilation, rather a celebration for flaunting the law. We are forced to endure these fill in the blank pride months to celebrate invaders national, racial, religious and ethnic identities above any expectations of them socially becoming American. As it becomes evident there is only so much neck down manual labor to go around, and these illiterate foreigners in a foreign land only find themselves isolated and disadvantaged, they’ll be ripe for indoctrination, manipulation and coercion. This is all my simple prediction….That, and water and energy resources will continue to dwindle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I think a good trained security dog would serve as a much better investment than the expectation any firearm would give any sort of advantage in the event of a surprise.

Dantankerous Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 No gun or no amount of training is going to help during a terrorist event like those that occurred on 9-11 or the home grown Timothy McVeigh terrorist event in OKC. There are some things that cannot be planned for. Sadly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That used to be the case...now, they just shoot the dog first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people have no thought for HUMAN lives! A dog is nothing more than the dirt under their feet, or food in a pinch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 ANTIFA/BLM is the local branch of the jihadi terrorists. We have seen how they move and behave. Firearms are highly effective against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can give them a moment of pause. Nothing resets bad guys' plans as much as red mist and gray matter splatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Devil Dale Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I will pass on describing what I have or don't have available or where they may or may not be kept. This is the Internet, after all. The world can see what is written here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Here in CA, the gov't knows everything I own. My 4473 are on file 24x7 to CA law enforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Devil Dale Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 For my home protection, I took the advice shared here in the Saloon a couple years ago. I picked up a couple more cats at the shelter and bought an extra laser pointer for my wife. Anyone breaching our front door is going to find a red dot on center mass, shortly followed by lots of claws. Go ahead-- Bring it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll just bring someone that hates cats...the cats will immediately flock to them and won't leave them alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
