"Owning or carrying a firearm isn't about statistics or constitutional arguments,

The purpose of this curriculum is to educate and equip organizations and individuals to develop an effective Emergency Operations Plan. This plan is fitted to your own needs, context, size, and building.

This class is a 4-hour single session.
It begins with careful data analysis of tragic mass shootings from the past twenty years.
It teaches the real motivations, profiles the killers, their methods, timelines of the events, and more.
