Today we’ve had yet another mall shooting. As unrest grows, all individuals need to recognize their responsibility to plan for the worst.
Cascade Mall’s “24-hour Professional Security Services” didn’t protect the victims. But this isn’t another post telling you to carry a gun wherever you go.
We need to be prepared to deal with the aftermath. A very basic kit to handle severe hemorrhaging could save a life. Those items are:
- Tourniquet
- Pressure Bandage
- Something to hold them in

OK, I admit it: I lied about not giving you grief about not being armed everywhere. Carry it. James Yeager’s series on handling active shooters is excellent:
We must resist evil wherever we can. It’s up to you, now.
