The other half think they'll just plug a bullet wound with a tampon...
Is that covered in this class cmshoot cmshoot ?

I ain't teaching this class, so I don't know what the minutiae will be. The broad strokes of the topics covered are listed above.

Rod knows his stuff and he's an excellent Instructor. You're welcome to ask him about tampons in person.
