  • A Basic Firearm Tutorial by John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009
    A Basic Firearm Tutorial By John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009 Statistics for Firearm-Related Deaths According to a 2005 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 31, 000 firearm‐related deaths within the United States. Of the 31, 000 deaths, 55% of those deaths were certified as suicides, 40% certified as homicides, 3% certified as accidents, and the remaining 2% were certified as undetermined. A previous study by the CDC covering the years 1993 to 1998 also found that most firearm‐related deaths were again caused by self‐inflicted acts and men and individuals between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised a majority of those firearm‐related deaths. Every medical examiner or coroner’s office across the country has investigated a firearm‐ related death. Depending on your jurisdiction, these types of deaths may comprise a large portion of your caseload or a small portion. Regardless of the number of firearm‐related deaths your office investigates, every medicolegal death investigator must be knowledgeable in the safe handling of firearms, basic ballistics terminology and the parts of a particular firearm, whether it be a semi‐automatic handgun, revolver, shotgun or rifle. General Safety Practices The safe approach to and subsequent handling of firearms is your personal responsibility. Safety is the number one priority when handling such weapons. At any death scene involving a firearm, the death investigator MUST ALWAYS ASSUME THE FIREARM IS LOADED! Most accidental discharges of a firearm are the result of not following safe gun handling practices and failure to use common sense.

  • Cowboy Action Shooting Standard Operating Procedures
    Cowboy Action Shooting Standard Operating Procedures Cowboy Action Shooting is a multi-faceted shooting sport in which contestants compete by shooting at steel targets for speed and accuracy, with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West. Single – action revolvers, lever action rifles, double barrel shotguns (side-by-side) or pre 1899 pump or lever action shotguns only are to be used. This shooting competition is conducted in Stages, characterized as “Old West” style. Participants subscribe to the idea that Cowboy Action Shooters strive to preserve and promote the spirit and tradition of the Old West! The truly unique aspect of Cowboy Action Shooting is the requirement placed on the wearing of period dress. Each participant is required to adopt a shooting persona, appropriate to the character or profession of the late 19th century, or a Hollywood western star, and develop a costume and alias accordingly. Cowboy Action Shooting is not intended to be a precision shooting competition. Small targets and long distances tend to take the “action” out of the game. Both experienced and inexperienced shooters want to hit their targets. Some just hit or miss a little faster than others. Therefore, targets are of ample size and reasonable distance to facilitate this. Too many misses or targets too difficult to hit discourage shooters. Cowboy Action Shooting is open to the public, and one does not need to be a club member, although club membership is highly desirable. On that note, members must wear their badges at all times when at the Club. New shooters, especially young shooters, are strongly encouraged.
