It all started in 2002.

About the Firearms Instructor: John Hansen
I have been involved in law enforcement investigations (2000 to today) and I have had the opportunity to talk to various types of criminals (Gang Members, Murderers, Rapist, Car Thieves, and Armed Robbers, etc...). I have talked to the prosecutors that bring charges against us; I have been used as an expert witness in criminal court trials. I have also been used in Grand Juries too. I have taught a variety of classes (firearms, legal, gang classes, etc.) over 21 years to criminal attorneys, defense attorneys, police/corrections officers and the general public. In short, when I answer a question of yours I believe I can give you the best possible answer! I work on the law side and I get to talk to the criminals that commit these crimes against us, my answers are NOT based on a book or class that I have taken somewhere.
We have a different training format that allows me to be unique from a standard “firearms class!” I DO NOT talk at you or above you; I will talk to you in the class. I am no better than anyone in the class.
