I attended this course this past weekend and found Mas to be very knowledgeable and extremely articulate in his presentation. Mas was very cordial and approachable, not the 'egotistical windbag' some have tagged him. At least not in my experience. He kept it very entertaining. After teaching CHL and several different NRA courses such as PPOTH/PPITH for the past two years, I am very familiar with a lot of his material. However, the insight he provides from his experiences over the past 40 years, especially as an expert witness in numerous cases, provided a lot of clarity on the many aspects of self defense shootings and their aftermath. I gained a lot of additional knowledge about the subject matter as well.

Surprisingly, the 20 hours seemed to fly by. I took lots of notes as everyone else in the class did as well. Although MAS has been teaching this course for many years, he has updated it and the material was very current and applicable to today's society and events. The material was applicable to Texas law and included his experience on several cases he has worked on in Texas. Well worth the cost and time. I didn't see the other student reviews, but based upon the discussions and talks during the breaks I think most, if not all, enjoyed the course and gained much by attending.

I certainly felt the cost at $450 was worth it. The extra $50 dollars we paid to KR Training was more than reasonable when you consider that we had a lunch both days, coffee, tea and soft drinks all day each day, and great snacks during the afternoons. It was a lot of material to cover and we worked through lunch both days, so it certainly made a difference not having to go out for lunch (especially since the weather sucked both days outside).

Good course. I recommend highly recommend it. Thanks to Karl Rehn for hosting this course; great job!

I spoke with Mas at the NRA convention as well and found him very cordial. He and Marty Hayes gave me a lot of advice on various courses worth attending and appreciate the opportunity to attend courses from respected trainers/instructors without having to travel all over the US. I have signed up for the course and am looking forward to it. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having to defend yourself in court due a shooting, Marty and Mas are at the top of my list as expert witnesses or consultants to the attorney representing me. That is why I am also an affiliated member of the Armed Citizens Network. I am taking the course to learn about the court room environment based upon his experience in dealing with the aftermath of defensive shootings. But, I hope that I never have to call on him.
