I think it's a great idea. You carry a gun to protect yourself and your family. This is just another way to keep those close to you safe.

The breath to compression ratio seems to change every year. The important thing to remember is you're acting as the persons heart and lungs. Keep moving air and blood until EMS gets there to take over.

I trying to find advance emergency aid without changing my major.There used to be an EMT course you could take with one of the local EMT/Rescue departments but it appears now you have to go real school to become an EMT.My ex is a nurse and she took the class for the knowledge,I should have taken the class with her.
