Most firearm training ends at the range. But the instant the shooting stops, the legal battle begins. Police. Prosecutors. Statements. Grand juries. Trials.
If you are not prepared, a justifiable self-defense shooting can turn into a possible conviction.
This conference exists to give you the missing half of your training; the courtroom fight. You will leave us knowing exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to protect your freedom if the worst day of your life ever comes unexpectedly.
Lethal-force law made basic & clear: You will know when lethal force is justified both inside and outside the home, what prosecutors look for, and how to avoid negligent traps.
Aftermath mastery: What to do after the last shot is fired and the casing is rolling towards the curb. What do you say and to whom. Resist the temptation to blurt out statements until your attorney is present.
Active-shooter math and response: Why the first 30 seconds can determine the victim count and how trained citizens can change the outcomes.
Human performance under stress: Managing fear, hesitation, the startle reflex, and decision-making when death is on the line.
Live case studies and scenarios: The classroom becomes our stage where you may become involved in a live action scenario experience from the assault to a courtroom confrontation.
J. B. Herren – Veteran instructor on the aftermath self-defense shooting protocols, case studies and scenario-based training. JB will present "Aftermath: Lessons in Self Defense”.
Ed Monk – National authority on active shooter threats. Author of First 30 Seconds. He has trained law enforcement, schools, churches, and civilians nationwide.
John Hearne – Law enforcement officer and researcher. He teaches who survives violent encounters and why, including performance under stress, hesitation, and the startle reflex.
Pastor David George – Civilian hero who stopped a Walmart active shooter on Father’s Day 2018. David will share his real-world account of the importance of prior training.
Two fights, one outcome: Surviving the street fight means nothing if you lose everything in the court fight.
Deadlines drive decisions: Seats, bonuses, and the price all move after the 7-day window.
Courtroom survival beats internet myths: This curriculum replaces guesswork with courtroom-ready knowledge
