Free Self-Defense Workshop Coming To Roseburg November 22

ROSEBURG, Ore. - Roseburg residents interested in learning more about self-defense laws and what happens during and after a self-defense incident will have an opportunity to attend a free educational workshop later this month.

The U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) is offering a workshop titled "Should I Shoot?" on Sunday, November 22, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Coastal Farm & Ranch, located at 782 NE Garden Valley Boulevard in Roseburg.

The two-hour event will focus on the decisions people may face during a self-defense situation, including when the use of force may be legally justified and what individuals should understand about the potential consequences of their actions.

According to the event listing, the workshop will be presented by Lance Gomez as part of the USCCA's educational training program.

Understanding Self-Defense Decisions

The workshop is designed to help participants better understand the legal and practical considerations involved in protecting themselves or others.

Topics scheduled for discussion include:

• What Oregon law considers reasonable force in a self-defense situation.
• What can happen following a self-defense incident.
• How individuals can respond quickly during an emergency.
• Considerations before, during and after a potentially dangerous encounter.

The event will also include a live question-and-answer session with USCCA-certified instructors, giving attendees an opportunity to ask questions about self-defense situations and related legal considerations.

Organizers encourage participants to bring questions and materials for taking notes.

Open To The Community

Although the USCCA primarily provides education and training resources for firearm owners, the organization describes its community workshops as being open to a broad audience.

The event is intended for parents, teachers, business professionals and other community members interested in personal safety and self-defense education.

The USCCA offers training programs covering topics such as firearm safety, concealed carry, home defense and the legal responsibilities associated with self-defense.
