OH I have been around...just not in the same circles...

We will not be learning how to treat what you two have been passing around.

 

[96firephoenix]

I have a commitment at church as well. I really would like to attend something like this though.

I might be able to make it. Sorry to sound like the skeptic, but exactly what qualifications do you have to be teaching these sorts of things?

Does being an ER nurse at methodist northlake campus in Gary which sees gunshot victims on a daily basis count? LOL

 

[turnandshoot4]

I am an ER nurse in Gary.
Kenneth, the other instructor, was a medic in the army with tours in the sandbox

Haha, yes, I would consider that sufficient qualification! I was just a little curious because I haven't seen you guys around the forums as much. I guess we just frequent different circles

 

[turnandshoot4]

Who is not coming to JP?

I will PM address for those that will not be at the shoot.

 

[turnandshoot4]

I'll be getting a thrower and clays at wally world tomorrow morning. If you want to bust'em bring some clays and shells.

 

[Relatively Ninja]

I would like to attend if you've still got room. I have to work in the AM so I won't be able to make it to the range.

 

[Sureshot129]

Dang, it I work nights and sunday starts the work week or I'd be there.

 

[Wild Deuce]

How late will you be at JP? I'm still going to NPCCC and will catch up with you guys wherever you might be as soon as I am done with the match. I have all the stuff with me that I PM'd you about.

You have another PM inbound also.

 

[Wild Deuce]

Good class... good info. Sorry I couldn't make the pre-class J-P shoot. It was a heck of a long day with the NPCCC match and trip to the in-laws. I don't think I've sweat that much since my military days.

With a good group like this, it would nice to see us take the next step and do a hands on.

 

[Wild Deuce]

For all those that attended the class. If you would like to follow up and expand your information base in regards to gunshot wounds and/or terminal ballistics, I would recommend the following materials. I brought some of these to the class but we ran out of time for show-and-tell.



Books:

• [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Gunshot-Wounds-Ballistics-Techniques-Investigations/dp/0849381630/"]Gunshot Wounds (Practical Aspects of Firearms, Ballistics, and and Forensic Techniques) 2nd Ed. by Vincent J.M. Di Maio[/ame]
• [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Forensic-Analysis-April-1986-Firefight/dp/1581604904/"]Forensic Analysis of the April 11, 1986, FBI Firefight by W. French Anderson, M.D.[/ame]

DVD:

• Deadly Effects (Wound Ballistics) 1987

Please note that NONE of these materials cover treatment of gunshot wounds. They will, however, expand your knowledge base on GSW.

The Gunshot Wounds book is a bit pricey at $98 and I would only recommend it if you are seriously pursuing this topic or want to have a solid reference source in your library.

The Forensic Analysis book at $16 is highly recommended for anyone that wants to learn what the human body can accomplish even after receiving mortal wounds. It is also a facinating study of the FBI Miami firefight. WARNING: Book is graphic.

The Deadly Effects VHS video (Daddy, what's video???) is now available on DVD. Even though it was released in 1987, I can not find anything on the video that has been invalidated 24 years later. Good information.

WARNING: This video also has some graphic images.

That would be a lot of fun. How does one go about hands on training without shooting someone? Thanks for the links to those books too; some of those are definitely on my wish list now.

And a BIG thanks to turnandshoot4 for putting the class together. It was well worth the drive.

You use a good sized Hog, and if you can't save it, well then hog roast. It's win win.

That sounds like a horrible idea. I would have no motivation to save the hog!

"Oh you said apply pressure? I thought you said sever the major arteries and light the grill."

Any AARs for this event for those of us that could not make it?
