"Everything You Know About Mass Shootings is Wrong!" – A 1.5-Day Intensive Workshop to Arm YOU with the Facts and Solutions

We've all seen the news from Mass Shootings, and we've all heard the "solutions" often touted such as limiting magazine size, banning certain types of firearms, etc. And for many of us, we know that these fear driven reactions and "solutions" won't really change anything.... But is that the end of the story? Far from it. If you want to know the facts behind mass shootings, and become a force for REAL change, then this course is for you! This groundbreaking course is designed to shatter the common misconceptions surrounding mass shootings and provide participants with actionable, data-driven insights into countering these horrific events. The widely circulated "solutions"—focusing on magazine size, weapon type, and the lethality of various rounds—fail to address the real factors behind mass shootings. Backed by the comprehensive curriculum from the USCCA, this 1.5-day workshop will equip you with both the knowledge and practical skills necessary to better protect your community.
