About Lethal Defense

I want to help new & experienced gun owners gain confidence and avoid, deescalate, or prevail in confrontations.

- Darin Newquist, J.D. - Owner & Trainer

Darin has extensive training in the areas of gun handling and self-defensive firearm use, but what sets him apart is his knowledge of how the legal system works. Avoiding a prison conviction or civil court judgement is a part of self-defense that most instructors don’t teach, and something Darin wants every carrier to have in their tool belt.
