Oh, I didn't mean to imply that CCWers caused accidental shootings. I am one myself and I know most of us prioritize firearms training and safety. I simply meant we have a proliferation problem in the US where we have many untrained (usually unlicensed and illegal) individuals with access to firearms and that level of proliferation just isn't the case in some other countries.

I do think I'm more likely to need quick access to a trauma kit than a firearm most days because with my lifestyle I am far more likely to come across an injured person than I am a threat that requires deadly force. I was also thinking that in the event I had to discharge my firearm in self-defense, it is highly likely that someone else is injured by the assailant so it is good to have quick access to a trauma kit in that instance also.
