Everyone is aware of the tragedy that occurred in Paris over the weekend. Many of us here in the states are confident that we might fare better because we are an armed citizenry and many of us carry firearms on a regular basis.

But what do you do in the critical moments between when the shooting has stopped and before the paramedics arrive?

The Shooter Self Care Class hosted by Among The Leaves covers just these topics. Our expert instructors will cover topics such as how to identify trauma injuries and how to use the contents of a trauma kit or “blow out kit” to help save the life of those injured after an attack, whether that person is an innocent bystander, family or a loved one, or even yourself.

Our next class will be held on January the 8th, so it’s the perfect holiday gift for those you care about.

Additionally, the first 15 students will receive a free blowout kit with the cost of their tuition.
