Shit happens, especially when you don't expect it. Don't wait until someone mugs you to realize the thing is useless if it's at home in the safe. Be an asset to your community instead of a liability. Which leads to another point.
Carry medical. You're much more likely to save someone with a tourniquet than a pistol. This guy rubber banded one to his rifle and I think that's a cool setup.
This isn't an argument. They didn't have nylon, genius. They HAD dedicated medical kit. They didn't go out in the field with only a bundle of twigs and some chewing gum thinking they are macgyver.

My bandanas, belt, even my t-shirt can be used as tourniquets.
No. They really can't. 90% of improvised tourniquets fail.
Tell that to all those civil war soldiers that lost limbs because crude tourniquets were left on too long.
This is like blaming cars because you suck exhaust pipes on your free time
