The following is an email from my bud aray (who often acts as an AI for me) reprinted with permission:
I had been convinced that carrying a BOK was just paranoia for quite a while. Between the winter Study Group session (thanks Gutshot John), and ToddG’s AAR on the ND by one of his students, I started to carry one.
I went with my Brother in Law and his buddy Sean (he’s SWAT, we’re not) to shoot at their ‘no rapid fire’ upstate NY range yesterday. After we were done, we stopped in at the clubhouse for a refreshment and were told about the guy who ND’d into his foot hours earlier. He was “Practicing his quickdraw with his safety off.” Equipment involved: Blackhawk Serpa and a Glock 22. I didn’t ask about having the Glock’s safety off. I just couldn’t bear to hear the answer.
Fortunately, I was not involved in any way, but it was a dang near thing.

I used to be of the same mindset as aray. I bought a BOK for the Winter Study Group for the sake of learning and carried it in my range bag afterward. It was only after ToddG’s AAR that I gain a true appreciation for BOKs.

Paranoia is just another term for awareness…

I’ve been thinking about getting a BOK for myself. Can any of you recommend a complete kit, or is it better to try to piece one together? I should probably also take a first aid class so if you know of any good ones, let me know.

That is the one I have, and I know a few others from the same session with the same kit.

I got the TacMedSol one as a gift from ToddG (in red) and I have it on my gear queer belt. I also have two small CavArms kits and an Advanced Medical Trauma Case all of which I purchased through Grey Group Training.
