How Not To Be Robbed At Gun-Point Seminar - Friday, Feb. 3rd, 2017

How Not To Be Robbed At Gun-Point Seminar - Friday, Feb. 3rd, 2017

Hear factual real-life "Survivor Stories" from our latest and all-new panel of invited speakers who were forced to defend themselves with their lawfully carried firearms after being selected for victimization.

This seminar is FREE but requires and advance online RSVP that only takes three seconds to submit. Parking is also FREE and plentifuly.

Our current panel will feature a personal testimony that transpired in a take-out restaurant in the city of Detroit. If you regularly watch the newscasts, you have probably heard about this self-defense story. This account has not been previously featured in this seminar series and may not be showcased again.

Attendees at our previously conducted "Lethal Force Aftermath Seminars" intently listened to the presented tales of survival. Most present took detailed notes and asked profound questions to find lessons and strategies to enhance their own personal protection plans.

Each of our invited guest speakers are not employed by any law enforcement agencies. As such, they are "regular" every-day citizens such as yourself who managed to survive the worse 60 seconds of their lives.

Listen to our panel individually share their mindset and level of awareness before they were attacked and compare that with the lessons they learned in the aftermath.

Discover the realities of being attacked and how they each managed to survive their lethal force encounters. Info shared at this seminar can help you survive, if you are ever targeted by purveyors of violence. Trust me, you do not want to this installment of "Survivor Stories."


Additional speakers may be added to the panel as their availability becomes clearer as we approach the seminar date.

The panelists will then answer your questions in a moderated format.

This seminar is the latest educational module in our Lethal Force Aftermath series. Due to the difficulty of finding survivors of lethal force encounters willing to publicly speak about their experiences, it is possible that this event may never be duplicated. If there is another installment of this series, it will only happen if we can find another group of brave survivors who want to share their stories. As such, this event is one-of-a-kind and may never be repeated.

Thus, if you are a serious student of lethal force and want to avail yourself of timely and relevant info on the subject, this seminar is a true "must see" event. We heard nothing but rave reviews of the prior presentation.


Furthermore, attorney Terry Johnson will also be present to address and clarify any issues about lethal force which may be raised during this event.

The Seminar is free and parking is plentiful. However, to limit the number of attendees to aptly suit the venue, a FREE online RSVP is required. Please do not register if you can't attend this one-of-a-kind event.

The seminar will be held on Friday, February 3rd, at the Taylor Gander Mountain - 14100 Pardee Road, Taylor, MI between 6pm and 8pm.

TESTIMONIALS
"The event was great. I personally am much more informed because of the seminar. All of the panel did a excellent job and gave really good insight." ~ Mr. Edward L. Smith

"This past Saturday's seminar was excellent..the great acting skits knowing what to say & not what to say to the police...the bail bonds information & the firearms legal protection..yes I'd rate this event 10 out of 10..all the information was very beneficial so many people have no idea what they should actually do after a self defense shooting..great event can't wait for more future projects." Mr. Derrick D. Adams

" The seminar was very informative on dealing with the aftermath of a self defense shooting. I really learned some helpful information regarding jail bondsmen, and legal protection agency. The acting was helpful also." ~ Mr. Thomas Jeter

"I thought the seminar was more than worth my time. The roleplaying of the victims going through the aftermath of a shooting was an excellent way to educate the attendees on things to expect and the consequences of being unprepared for them. Having Law Enforcement, Lawyers, and Bail Bondsmen explaining the real world situation of being a victim of violent crime and having to use force to defend oneself or another and then dealing with the situation to minimize your liability both criminally and civilly was priceless. The idea of being able to have affordable insurance to cover the substantial costs involved in defending myself in the aftermath of a violent encounter will make me sleep better at night." ~ Mr. Ron Howard

"Good seminar covering the practical and logistical aftermath of a self defense shooting. Started with an amusing skit which outlined the timeline of events prior to an incident, through the interview, arrest, arraignment, and bail arrangements. The legal and financial implications of poor decision making and "excited utterances" were laid out in a much more engaging and clear way than the standard dry, death by PowerPoint. The perspectives of each group involved, police, lawyers, bail bond people and we the armed general public were addressed and ample QA was allowed. Well worth your time even if there was a fee, if only for the contact information given, especially the best Firearm Self Defense Ins program I've seen to date. A poignant reminder or a slap to the face of the unwary that self defense doesn't begin and end with a life threatening incident. Preparation for the unthinkable does not start with strapping on iron nor end with drawing it." ~ Mr. Wong Guy

"Thanks for having a free seminar. I learned so many valuable tidbits about the law and what "Not" to do. I really enjoyed the way the material was presented. Highly entertaining and educational. Thank You." ~ Ms. Laura Tolian

" I thought that it was a great idea to use a skit that walked us through a defensive use of a firearm from start to finish and then let each contributor give their presentation. I personally did not know much about how bail bonds worked. I was also glad to have the opportunity to talk to the folks from Firearms Legal Protection. I currently have a USCCA program and I am switching to FLP because in my opinion it is a superior product. I signed up for the family plan, and no, there was no high pressure sales pitch. I had been researching the different options for a while and this FREE seminar gave me the opportunity to ask questions and get them answered. Well worth the cost of admission." ~ Mr. Jim Zinke

"Seminar was great! Very good place for questions and answers for an encounter. Rick, as normal, I wasn't disappointed. Rick had An Officer, 2 Lawyers, and 2 Bondsmen to field questions. It's amazing the difference in perspective you get depending on who you ask. Officer Joe seems super honest and down to earth. Terry and (can't remember the other name) the two lawyers were point on. The two women bondsmen seemed genuine and helpful. Lastly, I'd like to thank Rick for his time and dedication to the cause. I suggest anyone who has carries a gun to attend the next one. Not only do they offer advice, but there is an affordable insurance you can purchase as well. I purposely stayed away from that until the end because I feel Rick or Allen could explain it much better then I can. Thanks again guys!" ~ Mr. Kurt Flonta

"The donuts were great. I enjoyed the entire time from start to finish. Q&A were right on point with some really great questions being asked of all members of the panel. The only thing I would like to see expanded (I talked to Joe about this) is the psychosomatic things a person faces when put into a shoot / don't shoot situation & what the human mind / body go thru during the event of a shooting. This event was for sure a 10 / 10 - true story. It was really great to see fellow A2 supporters in our firearms community." ~ Mr. Matthew Oldt

The seminar will be held on Friday, Feb. 3rd, at the Taylor Gander Mountain - 14100 Pardee, Taylor MI 48180 - between 6pm and 8pm.

Livonia Detroit Area Michigan Concealed Pistol License Class - Sat. Feb. 11th, 2017

Livonia Detroit Area Michigan Concealed Pistol License Class - Sat. Feb. 11th, 2017


Start Your 2017 Personal Safety Goals Off With A Bang!

Next CPL CLASS of 2017 - February 11th, 2017 - 10am Start

We are pleased to announce our first public Michigan Concealed Pistol License CCW/CPL Class of the new year! So, if you have a desire to qualify for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL), so that you can become safe, register for our next class.


Everyone claims to be the best. I am going to show you why we are the best.

Our classroom sizes are limited to ensure a proper learning environment. You will be comfortable asking questions that are most pertinent to your situation. We understand that being stuffed in a sardine can with 50 other students leaves much to be desired.

Our legal module is taught by a credible practicing criminal defense attorney. The legal module will NOT consist of an attorney - who never actually practiced law - lecturing on your duties, rights, and responsibilities under the law on a DVD.


Your safety and freedom deserve much better. Other providers, if they teach the law at all, only offer up their unprofessional and untested opinions. Our attorney is also a regular subject matter expert featured on the news and local talk shows.

I daily receive phone calls from students who took the $50 classes and short-changed themselves. The irony is that is that instead of calling their original trainer, they end up calling me. By this time, all I can do is refer them to competent counsel and hope that the amount of trouble they get into is minimized.

You have a choice: pay just a little more now for a superior class or pay a ton more later.


We provide one-on-one shooting supervision in the shooting booth. We understand that you need expert instruction on the safe operation of a pistol from a whisper away. Unlike the others, we do not have one instructor who watches five students on the range at the same time. We are right there with you each and every step along the way to ensure that you are safe while learning.

Finally, our Chief Instructor actually teaches the class. He does not rely upon the playing of out-of-date and boring DVDs as a substitute for quality and up-to-date instruction. Our training is a 100 percent live and entertaining presentation which ensure that you fully grasp and understand the material well after you leave the classroom. My students see for themselves how fast the GroupOn classes are over before we reach the half-way point of our class.

Our Chief instructor has been training citizens, such as yourself, for over ten years with a 100 percent safety record. We are especially adept at training first-time shooters, women, and seniors. We are not fly-by-night operators. We have seen many training providers come and go over the last decade.

Only quality Instructors have staying power. We are here for the long haul. So, if you ever have a need for follow-up, you know that you can find us - even if it is five years later.

If you want the best instruction, you have to be taught by the best. You deserve it, your family deserves, and your safety at home and out in the streets requires it. Don't be penny-wise and pound foolish with your safety. Go with the best. Me.

When my students call me, they are referring family members and friends to take our class. When graduates from other training classes call me, they were failed by their instructors and need serious legal help. Get it done right the first time.

Livonia Michigan Concealed Pistol License Class - Sunday, Jan. 29th, 2017 - RSVP NOW

Rape Prevention Class: Michigan Concealed Pistol Class - Sunday, Jan. 29th, 2017 - RSVP NOW
Detroit, Dearborn, Livonia, Southfield, Warren, Ferndale, Pontiac, Novi, Wixom, Flint

You Can't Rape A .38!

According to an article in the January 5th Detroit Free Press, reported rape is up 50 additional instances in Detroit. In total, 650 rapes were reported last year in our town. In contrast, 599 rapes were reported in 2015.

Accordingly, a brand new statistical category was created by DPD to show that residents and visitors should not be unduly alarmed. The number of reported "Stranger Rape" cases allegedly fell 11 percent last year.

So, the inference is that if you will be raped in Detroit, the odds are statistically better that it will be done by an acquaintance rather than by someone you had not previously seen or met. Detroit has been allegedly rounding up rape suspects who have been identified from the processing of the cache of 10,000 neglected and unprocessed rape kits that were discovered a few years ago in a closet.

In all, about 12 rapes will be reported in Detroit every week at the 2016 rate of occurrence. Don't fret, because if it happens it will probably be not be done by a stranger.

By the way, if you want to reduce the odds that you will be selected and be forced to be raped, give me a call. I have some ideas. I am not coy. I will suggest that you buy a firearm, get a CPL, and carry your gun every day.

Our next class is Sunday January 29th.
