In my mind a small trauma kit (with gloves) should be close by any time you have a weapon of any sort. While I am no lawyer, I strong supect that good sumertarian laws would still aply to someone treating an injury even if they where the one to inflict said injury.

Like others have stated, I'm not trained to provide medical assistance.
People make bad choices each and every day.
Most live and learn by that, some don't.

Me, personally: first thing would be to dial 911 and assess the situation. From there, I'd like to think I could render assistance, but only if it was safe to do so.
But i would be interested what the legal implications would be either way...where's a lawyer when you need one?

Why dont you get trained?
I understand that it might be dangerous in that situation to provide first aid, and that you might not even want to do it, since that person tried to kill you 2 seconds ago.
But you could get hurt during this attack, or a family member, or an innocent victim could get hurt.
Not to mention that you could shoot someone by accident (not a good situation but that happens even at the range).
I think anybody that carries a gun should have some kind of medical training.Or anyone for that matter, from kids to senior citizens.
Im not saying you have to be a surgeon in order to carry a gun but just going to a basic first aid class could be a good idea.
It doesn't have to be a safe defense situation, you could save someone's life during a car accident or something like that.Just with some basic training.
Well I really don't want the BG to bleed all over my things, so I might give this person enough to help control the bleeding. But only after I've made sure this guy isn't going anywhere and LEOs are on their way. Then I would probably start asking him annoying questions just to bug him

Let me re-phrase my original comment on medical training.
I have had a small amount of training as a former lifeguard,
Red Cross training during a Scuba class,
and much more in depth OSHA instruction for job site accidents/injuries.
I'm fairly certain I could administer some form of assistance to
most medical situations until the real professionals arrive.
For me, it would be a mental block preventing me from assisting ones needs that seconds earlier had attempted to cause me or mine harm.
I guess I would call it a lack of mental conditioning.

Oh I get it, and I can understand the mental block that you are talking about.
OK...You answered my question already and I missed it.
The lone period threw me off...
