A U.S. Marine veteran is recovering from a Craigslist transaction gone bad in which he was shot and then forced to plug the wounds with this fingers, benefiting from a military background that police say possibly saved his life.

Quote
"I put my finger in the bullet holes, the big ones, and then I ran back to the car and I made sure the kids were OK and I told them, 'Listen, Dad's been shot. There's an ambulance already on the way,'" Trenker said.
Impressive. He plugs his gunshot wounds with his fingers, calls 911, and tells his 4 kids not to worry!

Big balls!

Wonderful story on what not to do.

Glad to hear he is going to be ok but he was all kinds of stupid.  Supposed to be a mall and winds up being an apartment complex, red flag.  Took his children, that is just  :facepalm:.  Those are the two biggest mistakes right there.

  • I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Well, you know-he's a Marine  :laugh: :laugh:

Nah. His acting would be so bad he'd give himself away.

Actually, I'm told that womens' tampons are used in battle to plug bullet holes.

Was I lied to?

As opposed to what men's tampons?  Yes tampons have been known to be used to plug holes such as bullet wounds.

Tampons are better than nothing, but definitely not a first choice. IIRC, that story hails from the days before the IFAK.

I know there is a gross joke waiting to be made, but I'm not touching it.

Field medical kits come with much better things to stop bleeding.  Tampons make good field expedient bandaging.
