2025 Student Comments - Initial and Renewal Classes
"I thoroughly enjoyed your class! I will recommend you to everyone I know. Please email a flyer to hang in my office  or if you have business cards I can come by and pick them up sometime. I'm glad you enjoyed the bread and cookies! I look forward to working with you in the future, you are an outstanding instructor. Have a great night."
"Stays on point with subject matter. Great verbal skills in getting the important stuff into your head.  Challenging with the shooting portion of the test.  In other words he made it feel like a real life scenario. Will renew with Shasta Defense again."

12/2025 Australia - Islamic Terrorists Kill first unarmed victims who tried to stop the killers.  If the victims had firearms (e.g., handguns on their person) they may have stopped the slaughter before it even happened. (here). The politicians who disarmed Australia are as guilty as the attackers.  Pre attack indicators include the ISIS  Flag on the car window. If you see such indicator, you should be prepared for something bad to happen.

Politicians enact "laws" violating the God Given Right of Self Defense as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. By way of example:  making it "unlawful" to carry in churches, public, libraries, parks, hospitals, medical facilities, transit facilities, businesses,  etc...). 

One proposal is that if a Citizen is killed or suffers great bodily injury by a Terrorist or Killer and that citizen was denied the right to defend with a firearm (in any manner, directly or indirectly) as a result of such "legislation", then such politicians who voted for such "law" shall be legally deemed as a co-conspirator with the perpetrator(s)  and be held criminally liable to the same extent as the perpetrator killer(s). The legally deemed co - conspiracy conclusively is established  by the affirmative acts of the politician in facilitating, assisting, and giving aid to the criminal by intentionally disarming the law abiding citizen victim (by such "laws"), thereby depriving said victim of their right to legally defend life. The voting for and passing of such void "laws" is conclusively presumed to be done with full knowledge and intent that individuals will not be able to defend by virtue of said "laws".  As such, the politician is a legally deemed a de-facto partner in crime and shall receive the same criminal punishment as the perpetrator(s) as determined by trial (due process).  This would equally apply to death penalty cases.  Claims of  legislative "immunity" are irrelevant since enacting void laws is not within the Constitutional power of legislators.

  ACTIVE KILLER RESPONSE (What would you do? Have you thought about it") 

...Proper response tactics for an active killer require an analysis of your own abilities, the environment where the violence is occurring, the presence of help, the response time of the local police, and the killer’s weapons/tactics.  They can’t be codified into a simple “Run, Hide, Fight” playbook.  “Run, Hide, Fight” is certainly a better response option than passively freezing, but anyone who is truly interested in his own safety must ignore this simple, dumbed-down dictum and think for himself.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
