I wanted to share an e-mail I received:

" ... Again, I want to thank you, Jim, and Darin for another great experience this past weekend. Everything is becoming ever so evident as to the importance of the role of citizen warrior. I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for those defending us today, and for those who in the past sacrificed for us to enjoy our freedoms today. For those of us who have served, and for those who would stand up for freedom and liberty as civilians, I would like to paraphrase the words of President John F. Kennedy 1 August 1963, Bancroft Hall, U.S. Naval Academy, "I can imagine a no more rewarding endeavor. And any man who may be asked what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: I served in the United States armed forces (or as a citizen warrior - my words)." All the best to you and your family, especially on the upcoming celebration of the birth of this great nation."

Arizona’s Senate Bill 1108 is called the Constitutional Carry Law and permits any Arizona resident over the age of 21 without a felony record to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Former governor Janet Napolitano vetoed similar legislation in the recent past. It passed this year with a 36-to-9 vote in the House of Representatives and a 20-to-10 vote in the Senate. And, yes, the governor signed it on April 16.

This is great news not just for all freedom loving Arizonans but all Americans. But because we are no longer a rural society whose youth grow up with firearms and safety protocols it is incumbent that all concealed carriers get training. So besides continuing to offer our Arizona Department of Safety certified CCW course, which we still recommend to all, Warriorschool is working on an ongoing CCW class on how to carry, what to carry, when to carry with an emphasis on the details of rigs, holsters, draws, backgrounds, scans, interactions with law enforcement and the public, etc…

Letter from one of our students describing an experience he recently had on an airplane:
 
Dear Warriorschool,

I was sitting in first class next to the window. I had to go to the bathroom but did not want to disturb the person sleeping in the aisle seat. All of a sudden, I felt an urge that now was the time to go to the bathroom. It wasn't that I physically needed to go, I just felt that the time was right. I woke up the man sitting next to me and then slipped into the aisle. As I headed for the bathroom I noticed that there was a young man waiting ahead of me. He seemed nervous and continued to look around. "The poor thing is trapped." He said as I walked up. I looked at the door and saw that it was still locked, but that the door handle was rotating frantically back and fourth like a washing machine. An older woman approached from the cabin at a brisk pace with a panicked look on her face. "Its my daughter!" she said, and then she began pulling the door from the outside. My left hand happened to be in my pocket holding my old hotel room key card while all this was going on. Without thinking I pulled out the key card. Using the corner of it, I opened the bathroom door like Jeff Prather had taught in his Airline Defense DVD. Out came a beautiful little girl whose whole face was soaked in tears. She saw her mom and ran into her arms. Mom kissed the top of her daughters head and rocked her back and forth whispering that it was all okay. Thanks to Jeff Prather, a frightened little girl got back into the safety of her mother's love.
