Emergency Medical Fundamentals
The fight isn't over when the shooting stops.
If you carry a firearm, you should carry a tourniquet. The same skills that win a defensive encounter — calm under pressure, methodical decision-making — apply to the person bleeding on the floor afterward. This Stop the Bleed-aligned class teaches you to recognize life-threatening bleeding, apply a tourniquet to extremities, pack a wound on the torso, and manage shock until EMS arrives. Hands-on with real tourniquets, real gauze, and a training wound. Build a kit you'll actually carry, learn to use it under pressure.
Who it's for
Shooters, families, church and corporate teams who want to save a life in the critical minutes before EMS arrives.
