NEXT CLASS AUGUST 23rd 2025
From Barry Donadio, President of Public Security LLC Aug 13th 2025
Many of you know me to be an highly effective pistol instructor devoted to excellence. I have taught hundreds of everyday citizens how to defend themselves with a pistol. What you may not know is that I am also a certified ASP baton instructor. I love teaching the baton class and so honored to do so. It is a combination between classroom and physical interaction. Students also perform baton strikes in the class. Not to worry, you do not get hit. However, you will be striking a target. If you are a wear & carry permit holder, I can't begin to tell you how important it is to have a less than lethal option prior to using your firearm for self-defense. If you are ever in the situation and you use your firearm in self defense, a judge and a jury will want to know what steps you took working up the ladder of force prior to using deadly physical force. All the more reason why it is so important to get this certification so you carry this tool with confidence and become proficient. Personally, I have carried one in a law enforcement capacity since around 1996. Then, in a security, executive protection, and private detective capacity. Of course, yes while I was in the Secret Service also. It is not just for the police and security officers. It should be carried side by side with your legally carried handgun. This baton is also very effective carrying it by itself as a means of self defense. Take the time to invest in yourself (ONLY 4 HOUR CLASS) and your skills. Read the event information and contact Public Security LLC with any questions. I really look forward to meeting new people and getting them up to speed on self-defense with this great tool. You absolutely need this training if you are a serious gun carrier and serious about self-defense.

If you already have your wear and carry handgun permit, you should always have a less than lethal option before resorting to deadly physical force with your firearm. A judge and jury will want to know the less than lethal steps you
took prior to using a firearm in a self defense situation.
The ASP baton is an option that can be used for self defense that is less than lethal.
