• The 7 Most Chilling Pics and Video from the Oregon Mall Shooting

  In reply to Bodacious_Boedi.

  Judged by 12 versus caried by 6. I carry 24/7/365. I live in Oregon near where this happened.

  I am not going to be i a position of helplessness, will defend my family and myself and anyone who is threatened.

  I wonder if there was an CCW in the area when this happened??

• Concerned About Syria’s Chemical Weapons, Israel Will Now Give Combat Medics Nerve Agent Antidotes

  Okay, this article is wrong. Diazepam=Valium, every US soldier that was in Iraq and I believe in the Stan are issued three treatment kits (It maybe 6 pens 3 Atropine and three 2 Pam Chloride or 3 Pens where those two drugs are combined into one Pen) What I mean is the Pen is an auto injector. And each soldier also gets on Diazepam Pen. So you have either 6 plus one pen or 3 plus one pen.
  The theory is that if you can give the Diazepam pen to yourself–well you don’t need it. It is to be given by your buddy or a medic/corpsman. It doesn’t “protect” your brain like the atropine and 2-Pam, BTW those actually stop the Nerve Gas at the synaptic cleft in the individual nerve cell endings. Diazepam will help with the eventual seizures. Yes indirectly that is good for the brain (when a person seizes they may stop breathing or with poor effort) and stopping the seizure is good. Some theory is that it will decrease the panic and the awful feeling watching a bunch of your fellow soldiers or Marines twitching.
  Really the best thing is your mask, and get it on before exposure. US Military really has not been hit hard with a nerve gas attack. The Tokyo subway attack was last terrorist large scale use. Paramedics and first responders see Organophosphate poisoning (fertilizer) on farms occasionally. In those instances the victims need many many many doses of atropine and 2 Pam. An ambulance MAYBE can treat ONE PATIENT!
