Well, it's probably time for an update. That is what an exit wound from a 9mm with critical defense rounds looks like at point blank range.
I was getting out of my corvette on Friday morning, just going to the pool store, and it went off. I had it securely inside the holster designed for it, wasn't touching it, I just don't know.
I was able to hobble inside and scream for help as I was hemorrhaging blood. Jessica came running out and I immediately ripped my pantsand shirt off and make a tourniquet as tight as you can. She didn't hesitate. We were able to get someone to call 911, and a state farm agent came over and prayed over me, while some people from a real clinic just across the street raced over with a real tourniquet and applied it. Ems arrived and carried me swiftly to life flight, who flew me to Houston. They were giving me blood transfusions and some crazy psychedelic drugs the whole time, and letting me know it was going to be alright.
I was immediately rushed into the operating room and put under, operated on for two hours, and then put in a room when all was clear.
I can't thank everyone involved enough: you saved my life.
A special thank you to my wife and family for the trauma you had to enjoy with me.
