3-4 minutes??? Maybe less...With sufficient blood loss (2-3 minutes), brain damage is probable...LarryH wrote:If the femoral artery (I believe that's the one) is breached, bleedout doesn't take long at all.
It would be nice if we lived in a fairy land where nobody ever wanted to take away things that other have worked long, hard hours to earn, but that just isn't the case. Why should it be a sad thing that someone has decided to take personal responsibility for their own protection?A sad part of the story, of course, is a child growing up fatherless, for no good reason. But another sad part, and one that will make good people across the NFL cringe, is that (Taylor teammate Chris) Samuels, a gentlemen among gentleman, will be applying for a permit to own a gun this week.
"I was always scared of guns growing up,'' Samuels said. "But this situation has told me I need one. I'd rather be prepared than to be like Sean was, and not have a gun in his house when he really needed it. I'm going to go through all the proper procedures, get a license, get training for it, and have it in my house, where I lay my head at night.
"I wish a lot of people thought like I did, that violence is bad. But unfortunately that's not the way the world is. Sometimes the world is not a nice place. It's sad I have to get a gun.''
And that's yet another tragedy of Sean Taylor's death.
