1- first thing above all, is to avoid being shot in the first place. 2- try to position yourself to get shot in non-vital parts of your body. 3- if cornered, the vital organ defense position can reduce fatal wounds. 4- playing dead can reduce the chances for repeated shots. 5- continue playing dead even if the shots continue. 6- control your breathing, try not to panic 7- if you have the ability to call 911 do so. 8- apply pressure to the most dangerous looking wound, if you have multple wounds. 9- use gravity to keep blood in your body. 10- if shot in the front, lay on your back. 11- if shot in the back, lay on your stomach. 12- personally i have been shot, and i used a fighting stance (martial arts stance), in order to reduce my large size to make it harder to hit my vital areas. which is why i got shot on the outer side of my thigh, instead of my groin or stomach area. 13- try crawling to safety or shelter like under a car or truck.
