“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I’d now like to enter into evidence “Exhibit J,” the defendant’s graduation certificate from Suarez International’s “Killing Within the Law” class.

It is the prosecution’s contention that Exhibit J shows that—unlike conventional firearms courses—this class is a lecture on nothing more or less than how to get away with shooting another human being. When taken in consideration with the other evidence recovered at the scene, the testimony of eyewitnesses, and the forensic evidence, we believe that the defendant was clearly looking for an excuse to shoot another human being, and the victim was simply the first person the defendant ran across that he thought he could get away with shooting.

“We’d now like to call our next prosecution witness to the stand, Gabe Suarez, of Suarez International.”

It is the sincere hope of the vast majority of defensive firearms instructors and other self-defense experts in this world that they will equip you with the knowledge to avoid finding yourself in a predicament where you are forced to use a weapon to defend your life, but they also endevour to provide you with the skills to use deadly force deliberately and intelligently if you must.

From Craig Douglas’s Managing Unknown Contacts, to Dr. William Aprill’s Unthinkable, to Steve Tarani’s Prefense, to Massad Ayoob’s Mag-40, and many more, reputable self defense instructors want to do what they can to prevent the loss of life if at all possible by helping you prevent from getting in bad situations in the first place if at at possible.

As an instructor, Suarez has developed a reputation as what we can describe as “interesting,” as a simple Google search will reveal.
