USCCA Emergency First Aid Fundamentals

Would you know what to do if you were deep in the wilderness and a hunting companion sustained a penetrating chest wound from an errant round? Could you prolong the life of a loved one long enough for the ambulance to arrive, if he or she had sustained a lacerated artery from a violent attacker armed with a knife? While most Americans are comfortable dealing with the cuts and scrapes of everyday life, and tens of thousands have learned the Heimlich maneuver and CPR, most individuals would be a bit less comfortable dealing with severe, life-threatening injuries or illnesses when seconds count and EMS personnel and the emergency room are minutes (or longer) away.

It might seem unrealistic to compare what professional EMTs and paramedics are able to do with the things that non-professionals would be capable of, but in life threatening medical and trauma situations it all boils down to the same thing — sustaining the life of the patient until he or she can be delivered to the emergency room.

The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) is one of the preeminent training organizations in the country providing Concealed Carry Handgun and Home Defense classes, and a broad range of superb training publications, videos, and on-line programs. The USCCA also provides a range of excellent self-defense firearm legal insurance programs. Indy Arms is proud to currently have five USCCA-certified firearms instructors (and three USCCA Training Counselors) on our training staff (and all of those instructors are also certified by other major training organizations, including the National Rifle Association, Tactical Training Associates, and the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy).
