California has some of the most confusing and complicated firearms laws in the nation. And now more laws are on the way!!!

The law firm of Michel & Associates, P.C. is working with MV Tactical & Firearms Training, Inc. to present “Gun Law for Gun Owners,” which will be hosted by the Redondo Information Technology Center in Redondo Beach, California on May 7, 2016.

This six-hour class will combine the expertise of attorney Joseph Silvoso (criminal defense and firearms law attorney) and trainer Brian Fitzpatrick (retired police sergeant, training officer, and tactical firearms instructor). The combination of these teaching talents will create a unique learning experience for attendees. Admission for this one-of-a-kind class is $125.00.

Participants will learn about current and pending state and federal firearm laws and will receive a copy of C.D. Michel’s book, California Gun Laws: A Guide to State and Federal Firearm Regulations 3^rd Edition, a $29.99 value. Attendees will also be taught how they—as lawful gun owners—should react and behave when questioned by police, with suggestions offered from the perspective of both Mr. Silvoso, a criminal defense attorney, and Mr. Fitzpatrick, a retired police officer. Lessons will include analysis of real life encounters with police, and a discussion of the practical applications of California’s confusing firearm laws and how these laws play out in California courts.
