Night Shooting & What’s It Going to Take?

Paul and Jarrad are back from their extended training trip to Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee. During that time they had the opportunity to conduct some low light / night shooting. What was unique and what lessons were learned. We dive in during the Tech Talk from EOTech Inc.

During our SOTG Homeroom, we had a sad story to report. Nonetheless, the lesson is an important one. You don’t get to decide when you are going to have the worst day of your life, someone else will decide that. All you can do is be prepared to deal with it.

Finally, Professor Paul wrote an article for Shooting News Weekly regarding the question; What’s it going to take to get people to take traumatic medical training? We don’t have all the answers but we do have some.

From weartv.com:

The suspect who shot and killed Walton County Deputy William May on Wednesday is identified as a 58-year-old man, according to the incident report.

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office sent WEAR News the incident report on Thursday, which shows the suspect as 58-year-old white male Timothy Mark Jarvinen.

He resided on Shakespeare Court in DeFuniak Springs, which is nearby the Dollar General on Highway 90 where the incident took place. Jarvinen reportedly biked to the store Wednesday afternoon.

WEAR News previously reported that the suspect — now identified as Jarvinen — pulled a gun on Deputy May as Deputy May was walking him out of the Dollar General. Deputy May initially responded to the store for a call that Jarvinen was causing a disturbance and refusing to leave.

From www.shootingnewsweekly.com:

“Who put that tourniquet on him?” asked the Trauma Doctor in the ER waiting room, to which the driver replied, “Brad did.” “Well, you can tell Brad that if he had not done that, he (the victim) would be dead now.”

That exchange was between an ER doctor and the person who drove the victim to the hospital from a ranch in Utah. The life-threatening injury occurred after a steer knocked a ranch hand down and stepped on his arm, cutting the brachial artery clean through.

If you asked the average person, “Should you have first aid training?” It’s a safe bet that their answers would lean toward the affirmative. “How about CPR/Heimlich training?” “Oh yeah, we do that once a year at my workplace.” “How about traumatic medical training to include the use of tourniquets and pressure bandages?”

Now the conversation begins to turn and the respondents become hesitant or guarded with their answers.
