Re: emergency response to our matches.
My agency has always required us to have an Emergency Action Plan in place at every range (I am a Senior Firearms Instructor) and to brief all shooters on the essential parts of the plan (location of trauma kit; which vehicle is designated the "emergency transport vehicle" and the "escort vehicle"; location of nearest hospital with trauma center; etc). So, for years, we did it because we "had to". It was just another box to be checked off during range prep. Then, 3 years ago, I had a shooter suffer a massive heart attack on the range. Let me tell you something: When you need that Emergency Action Plan, you need it. I'm glad we had one and, for me, it was a lesson learned. I now realize just what an important part of our range operations it is.
