“Enjoyed the class and the situations that were discussed”

“I attended your 2-9-2014 CHL class and wanted to pass along something you may want to use as an example in your class of being completely aware of your surroundings. Unfortunately, I had to draw my weapon last night to stop an assault on a friend that happened in my own garage. Fortunately, I did not have to fire it. A friend and I were standing in my garage when a couple walked past on the street. You could tell they were arguing as she was yelling at him to “stop talking to me”. Of course, that got our attention and we moved to the garage door to observe. As the female was walking past, my friend said something to the effect of “you tell him”. She then yelled at my friend to not talk to her and began to approach us, walking with intent. My friend is a CHL holder, but he had put his hand gun in the repair shop that morning. My hand gun was still in my truck as I had not gone into the house yet, and I didn’t think I would need it in my own garage. I won’t make that mistake again. As the woman approached my friend, he put his arm up to block her. This caused her boyfriend to rush the garage yelling at my friend to take his hands off his girlfriend. They were standing between me and my weapon. After a brief exchange of words, the male sucker-punched my friend and the scuffle led into the yard. This took a matter of a few seconds. As I approached, unarmed, to intervene the assailant backed away. That gave me the opportunity to get my .380 from my truck. I held the gun down to my right, pointed at the ground, and told him I would defend myself. They immediately retreated to the street and left. I did not try to detain them. A witness called 911 and I told her to inform the dispatcher that there was a weapon involved. After police and ambulance arrived (my friend suffered only minor injuries), I used your method of elbows in/hands out to show the officers I was unarmed. I also told them where the weapon was. They found my “brandishing” the weapon was completely justified. The suspects were never found”¦probably never will be. Thank you for the guidance from the class on what to do. I hope that the outcome would have been the same (no loss of life) had I had the gun on me when they first approached. I will not make the mistake of being without it again! Thanks, again.”

“Just wanted to say thank you so much for your detailed CHL Course I attended. I have been a City Police officer, Village Marshal, and a Deputy Sheriff and felt the need for an update course on the laws and weapon handling to stay current. I was impressed by the level of professionalism through out the course. I was also pleased with the follow-up advanced course that I attended and I plan to continue to keep myself updated using your organization in the future. Well done Curtis!”
