You may only have a fraction of a second to decide whether you have a justifiable NEED to use a firearm, but the judge, prosecutor and jury will have months to pick apart every detail of the weeks, days and hours before you took that action. This class is designed to help you develop and internalize a decision making algorithm that may save you from legal ruin in the aftermath of defending yourself and/or your loved ones.

This will be a two hour discussion about creating a plan to deal with a home invasion that keeps children safe both before, during and after an incident.

“We are dedicated to the legal, safe, and responsible use of firearms for self-defense of the sexual-minority community. We no longer believe it is the right of those who hate and fear gay, lesbian, bi, trans, or polyamorous persons to use us as targets for their rage. Self-defense is our RIGHT.” (Copied from the Pink Pistols Utility Manual)

Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma. The First Aid for Severe Trauma (FAST) program provides participants with the knowledge and skills they need to respond to an emergency involving life-threatening bleeding, including how to: ■ Recognize a life-threatening bleeding emergency. ■ Ensure safety and communicate effectively in an emergency. ■ Control life-threatening bleeding using direct pressure, a tourniquet, or both. The program is designed to enhance participants’ ability to take decisive, lifesaving action to assist a person with a traumatic injury and life-threatening bleeding until professional responders arrive.

Creating a personal and home protection plan is about more than just knowing how to use a weapon. It’s also about staying aware, avoiding trouble, and being prepared, so you don’t end up in a situation where fighting an intruder is your only choice. By focusing on awareness and avoiding risky situations, you're less likely to face a dangerous encounter in the first place. This approach helps keep you and your loved ones safe, giving you greater peace of mind.

This will be a two hour discussion about creating a plan to deal with a home invasion that keeps children safe both before, during and after an incident.

There was an immediate and unavoidable danger of death or great/grave bodily harm to an innocent person, where no other option existed other than the use of force.

You used the force necessary to end that threat.

Now what? Are you prepared for the legal, psychological and social impacts?

This class will help you take preemptive action to prepare for those impacts.

This class is a conversation encompassing risk factors, indirect indicators, and direct indicators that mass violence is being planned or about to take place. We will also review and discuss statistics from the last 20 years such as emergent patterns. The class will conclude with a discussion about suggested plans of action in response to mass violence.

In this class you will learn from a First-Aid Instructor Trainer, and EMT candidate how to treat traumatic wounds and stop traumatic bleeding. We will discuss means, methods and devices that could help you preserve life. This is a hands on class that will prepare you for the worst case scenarios.
