With almost no exceptions (grazing flesh wound, perhaps) gunshot wound is a medical emergency, and should be treated at a hospital. That does not just apply to gut, thorax or head wounds - even a .22 bullet lodged in the arm greatly increases the potential for blood poisoning or permanent nerve damage, let alone extraction of the slug.
