If you are not lucky enough to find it in stock at a retailer, then the going price seems to be over 50 cents per round for basic 9mm FMJ ammo.

When I shoot IDPA matches I usually bring 300 rounds with me. That's over $150 in ammo replacement cost for just one match.

If you reload, this would make more sense I guess.

I bought over 7,000 rounds earlier this year... not counting what I already had... or reloads.

Yes and no.

DFW has regular visits to the ER from those who had a discharge from a holstered gun. If it is a strong side holster the wound is generally non-life threatening. They will live, and hopefully learn.

Appendix carry is a whole different thing. That is the most dangerous thing you can do with a gun. Moral of the story is don't have a holster AD if you appendix carry.

Training is vital, but there are also real world reasons for things like manual safeties and Israeli carry.

Glad to hear the unfortunate situation was handled well.

I'm convinced that training is more important than equipment. Stop the bleed, CPR, AED, First Aid, TC3 can all be important. Some situations require equipment, but every medical situation requires knowledge of what to do.

A your home and car are a great places to keep medical kits, but it certainly is a great idea to have one with your range bag as well.
