We have spoken with Massad Ayoob before, but today\\u2019s episode is different.\\xa0 We spend very little time talking about the legalities of the use of deadly force and instead, hold true to what I am trying to accomplish withe the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast by conducting deep dive interviews that take a look at our world in a way that hasn\\u2019t been previously considered.

\\n

\\n

\\xa0In today\\u2019s episode of the Safety Solutions Academy podcast, we talk about topics such as:

\\n
    \\n
  • His very serious introduction to defensive firearms at the age of 12
  • \\n
  • How he developed his focus on the legalities of the use of deadly force
  • \\n
  • How the shooting landscape has changed through the 50\\u2019s, 60\\u2019s and into today.
  • \\n
  • And of course the upcoming mag 40 hosted by Safety Solutions Academy In June where a whole slew of folks will have the opportunity to spend time with Massad Ayoob.\\xa0 Stick around to the end of the show and I will let you know how you can attend this course.
