Update 11/16/2020:
November 22nd and December 6th Firearm Safety and Self Defense are both full. Please look at FSSD + Live Fire (formerly known as Interim Introduction to Armed Self Defense) on November 28th, December 19th and 26th.
Please accept my apologies for a slow reply, we are racing to get the facility ready for rainy season.
We are in operation, and have open enrollment classes every weekend and a limited availability of private classes each week.
Thank you to all of you students and supporters for your help, donations, and encouragement.
As you may have heard, the SCU lightning complex fires destroyed the buildings, tools, and ammunition that were stored at our facility. Several thousand of dollars worth in ammunition that were not destroyed were stolen by a thief while the area was “evacuated”. Having said that, classes are resuming on a reduced schedule to allow for rebuild and recovery. If you had your classes postponed due to the fires, please email me at info@monarchdefense.org so I can prioritize getting you scheduled into an upcoming class.
If you are unable to reach us by phone, send me (Brian Wang) an email at info@monarchdefense.org and I will receive and reply to your messages when I’m in town.
The rebuild process is under way, and I could use your help! If you have interest in volunteering, we have many challenging, rewarding, and much needed work to be done. Everything from helping procure ammo, servicing firearms, helping coach beginners on the firing line, carpentry, to R&D and course development. Contact me (Brian) at 408-892-5460 or if I can’t pick up, email me at info@monarchdefense.org.
If you would like to donate, your contributions are very much appreciated, and can be sent via paypal to info@monarchdefense.org, or via Venmo @brian-wang-11. Another option is if you wish to pre-buy your classes and training, send the funds the same way as above, but make a note that you wish to hold this as a credit for the future, and when you pick out a class date you want to join, we will happily schedule you in.
We have transitioned back to our split beginner program with Firearm Safety and Self Defense in Fremont, CA, and live fire Shooting Range Experience at the facility. Please read course descriptions carefully for important announcements and logistical information.
