How to legally use a gun in self defense in San Francisco

When I asked the doc about brain damage, he said of course there was some, but the bullet didn't hit anything that particular individual was apparently using anyway in light of the circumstances of the shooting.

I've seen/known some people whose face could/would stop a clock but a bullet......?

Probably became a politician!

Back when I was a paramedic we arrived on the scene of a shooting.

The patient was unsresponsive, lying on a bed. The deputies had removed a .22 rifle from the scene to safe the area. The patient had what appeared to be a gsw entry on his forehead between his eyes. There was blood on the back of his head as well. We C-collared and backboarded him and got him in the truck. We started him on O2. His vitals were stable but he did not respond to a deep sternal rub and his respirations were shallow. I called the receiving ER and the physician ordered intubation and IV. My partner started bagging him to prepare for intubation. When I went to intubate he woke up just as I was threading in the tube. Scared the bejeebers out of me. I got the IV established enroute.

At the ER they Xrayed his head from multiple angles. No bullet was found. The ER physician determined from the pattern at the entrance wound that he flinched when he pressed the trigger (with his toe according to the patient) and the bullet went in under the skin and traveled under the skin around the skull and exited about halfway between his ear and the back of his head. Two small wounds, but head wounds bleed a lot.

Bullets do indeed do strange things.
