Date set for Mas Ayoobs training class in S/AZ

threefeathers · October 17th, 2009, 02:21 PM

Massad Ayoob will personally teach a 40-hour class on the judicious use of lethal force in defense of self and others. It will include approximately 500 rounds live-fire. The program will encompass tactics, psychology, taking suspects at gunpoint, and much more. The program will include real-world advice on interacting with witnesses, responding officers, and investigating officers, and preparing for the aftermath of a "firearms incident."

Students will require 500 rounds, serviceable handgun and holster, at least three magazines or speedloaders with belt carriers, ear and eye protection, brimmed headgear, and note-taking materials.

The date will be May 17-20th 2010 which coincide with the Southwest Writers Conference that will be held in Wilcox the week before..

It will be held at either the new Sierra Vista range or a Tucson range as it requires precise facilities which are being examined now.

The cost is $800.00

Information will be at Trailboss Outfitters, Thunder Mountain Custom Rifles, Chosin Guns, and the Ft. Huachuca Sportsman's Center in Sierra Vista.
2nd Amendment Guns in Bisbee.
Tucson Guns and Western Artifacts and Diamondback Police Supply in Tucson.

For anyone in the area who has "always wanted" to learn from Massad Ayoob in person, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE. I dropped nearly $1200 on LFI-1 in April, counting tuition and travel costs to Phoenix - and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. (Well, maybe not to repeat LFI-1, but DEFINITELY for LFI-2 or LFI-3.) Now's your chance to save about $400 in room/board/gas, folks!

The legal education and information you will receive is absolutely second to none. The training in the StressFire shooting techniques will give you the shooting skills and self-confidence you need to master your handgun and prevail against your attacker on the street. Documenting your training through your class notes will give you the tools to, ideally, avoid a post-shooting indictment, or if necessary, to prevail against a malicious prosecution or an unmeritorious lawsuit.

Consider this, if you will: LFI-1 is a 40-hour class, taught as either five 8-hour days or four 10-hour days. If it were taught in a collegiate format, the time spent and the material covered would actually equate to a 3-credit university/college class, covering 3 credit-hours per week for a 13-week semester. $800 for a 3-credit college-level class ON GUNS, taught by probably the foremost "expert witness" in the entire world - and which, if studied, internalized, practiced and documented, can potentially save your life, your family, your psyche and your good name - is this not worth attending?

Mark your calendars NOW. Plan your vacation time NOW. Start saving your money NOW. Brown-bag your lunches, give up the Starbuck's and Dunkin' Donuts, and start putting that money into your piggy bank for next May. Take a hard look at the junk cluttering up your place, and hold a yard sale. Pull one or two of those "safe queen" guns out, shoot 'em one last time if you have the ammo, clean 'em up good, and take 'em to the gun show, consign 'em at a local shop, or post 'em in the For Sale forum or on GunBroker.

Do this NOW. If you decide to "wait for the next time," you might just find out that there ISN'T a next time. Not wishing to jinx Mas, but we've already lost Jeff Cooper, Jack Weaver, Jim Cirillo, Rex Applegate, Chuck Karwan, etc...Thunder Ranch moved out of Texas...Front Sight is in receivership...take advantage of the opportunity to receive higher-level training, while Mas is still teaching AND while he's willing to come HERE - if too few people sign up too late for this class, do you really think Mas will be willing to come out here in the first place, or to make a return engagement later?

Kor,

Good to see you online, and welcome to the forum.

You're right, Mas is one heck of a teacher and the class is well worth it. I'm just sorry I didn't do it sooner. I'm going to try to arrange my schedule so I can help with this class, if they'll have me.

Hoping, hoping, I can do this. Need to let my boss know WAY in advance. Thanks, Vinny!

threefeathers · October 31st, 2009, 03:52 AM

I met with the Coalition that runs the Sierra Vista Range and they want Mas there and offered a pretty good price for rent of the police rnage and a new classroom.
I then met with Butch Jenson at the Pima County range on I-10 near Vail and he wants the class there and set up a meeting with me and the range director next Wednesday.
I'll look at their offer, see where the majority of students are comng from and we'll make a decision prpbably in December. We all win because the two ranges are only an hour apart anyway.

Hi, this class is filling quickly with 7 already paid. I gave this early notice so folks could save the bucks by May. You need a $200 dollar deposit to secure your place in it. I'm going to ask Scott at Tucson Guns and Ben at Trail Boss to collect the deposits or folks can IM me and I'll give you my address. Checks should be made to Mas Ayoob, the bottom of the check should have 40 hour class May 09.

The Tucson classroom can take 21, the Sierra Vista classroom 25. I'll decide by December which it will be. (Only an hour from each other)

Barrett4x4 · November 11th, 2009, 10:23 PM

Just to clarify, is this an LFI-1 course?

We have decided on the new Sierra Vista Regional range. It will be in May 17-20th, 2010.
I will go to hotels and see what kind of deal for all I can get.
If you are flying in come to Tucson. Car rentals avalible but I will try to get folks together so a car might be shared. We will try to make time to visit Tombstone for a lunch or dinner as a group. Maybe a group picture by the haunted bridge over the San Pedro river.
