AZCSN Presents Massad Ayoob Armed Citizen Rules of Engagement

A two-day, 20-hour immersion course in rules of engagement for armed law-abiding private citizens, emphasizing legal issues, tactical issues, and aftermath management. Topics will include interacting with suspects, witnesses, responding police officers…threat recognition and mind-set…management of social and psychological aftermath after having had to use lethal force in defense of self or others…and preparing beforehand for legal repercussions and minimizing exposure to them. Situations in the home, at the place of business, or “on the street” will all be covered.

Due to the nature of our instruction, it is necessary to provide us with one or more of the following with your registration:

a. Current State Issued Permit to carry a concealed handgun

b. Current FFL - Federal Firearms License

c. Current FOID Card (Illinois Residents only)

d. Current Police or Military ID

e. Other current proof of clean criminal record. Most sheriff’s departments will run these for you at a nominal fee, done routinely in many occupations. 

What Do I bring?

Note taking materials. Laptop recommended, (you may also want to bring an extension cord/power strip) Audio / video recording of the class is not allowed.

If legal to do so, student may be armed in the classroom, but there will be no handling of firearms in the lecture setting.

This class is lecture only, there will not be any live fire.

Please bring your own lunches, snacks, beverages etc. We have a “working lunch” in all classes. Many of our facilities do not have a place close enough to purchase meals and get back in a reasonable amount of time. Also remember that many of our classes are 10 hour days so if you need another meal in that amount of time please bring it. Bring water, while we do provide water at all of our locations, it never hurts to bring some more. We teach in many locations and cannot guarantee the comfort of the chairs, if that might be an issue for you feel free to bring a cushion to sit on.

All Classes meet at 8:30 AM on the First Day
