Use of Deadly Force Seminars in Arizona
Understand the Law Before You Need to Defend Yourself
Owning or carrying a firearm for self-defense is a serious responsibility — but possessing a weapon does not mean you’re prepared to use it legally or responsibly. At Executive Services Agency PLLC, we offer a comprehensive 16-hour Use of Deadly Force Seminar, designed to educate both civilians and law enforcement on the legal, psychological, and tactical realities of using lethal force in self-defense situations.
Drawing on the curriculum from the Lethal Force Institute, and certified by renowned firearms and legal defense expert Massad Ayoob, our seminar delivers facts, case law, and practical insights that could mean the difference between freedom and incarceration.
Why This Seminar Is Essential for Armed Citizens
Col. Jeff Cooper once stated:
“You are no more armed because you are wearing a pistol than you are a musician because you own a guitar.” This seminar expands on that truth — emphasizing that knowledge, training, and preparation are just as important as marksmanship.
You’ll Learn How To:
- Understand Arizona’s self-defense laws
- Explain legal concepts like “ability, opportunity, and jeopardy”
- Prepare for the legal aftermath of a defensive shooting
- Interact with witnesses, law enforcement, and investigators
- Recognize the symptoms of post-shooting trauma
- Avoid civil lawsuits and criminal charges
- Document your training to support courtroom defense

After the Trigger Is Pulled — Are You Ready?
A self-defense incident is not the end — it’s the beginning of legal, financial, and emotional challenges. Jurors may have weeks or months to dissect your decision in court. Can you confidently explain your actions? Can you prove your understanding of deadly force law before the incident occurred?
Failing to prepare could mean:
- Felony charges
- Financial ruin from civil litigation
- Prison time — and not hypothetical “worst-case” scenarios
- Lifelong psychological impact
This course helps build a legal and ethical foundation you can rely on — not just in the moment, but in the aftermath.
