Name: Massad Ayoob I
City of birth: Cambridge, MA O
Occupation: Full time irearms/deadly force instructor, part time N
writer/police oicer/expert witness in homicide cases
Education: Numerous irearms instructor schools, tactical courses,
homicide/OIS investigation schools
Professional Organizations: 19 years chair of irearms/deadly force
committee for American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers, 11 years
advisory board of International Law Enforcement Educators and
Trainers Assn., 2 years co-vice chair of forensic evidence committee of
National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers
EIJ: What should be the process for integrating irearms safety back into society?
Mas: No need to integrate back, as it has been there all along. While we don’t see
Hunter Safety taught in public schools as it was when I was young, we have more
NRA-certiied instructors than ever, and the upcoming Second Amendment Founda-
tion training contingent. In addition, we have more private irearms training acad-
emies than ever in the history of the world.
EIJ: What steps do your irearm training facility put into place to help mitigate ac-
cidental discharge of a weapon?
