I accepted the position only after being assured that it would be an <em>interim <\/em>appointment, and one of my primary goals is to find a dedicated 2A warrior with a longer life expectancy than my own to eventually serve in this position.&nbsp;In the meantime, I will support the goals of SAF, particularly to further strengthen our ties with the law enforcement community and to enhance the organization&#8217;s policy of embracing diversity in the community of the \u2018gun culture.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ayoob brings a lifetime of experience to the position. He served 19 years as chair of the Firearms Committee of the American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers, and several years as a member of the Advisory Board of the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association. In addition to teaching for those groups, he has also taught for the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors and the International Homicide Investigators seminars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/california-attorney-general-sues-to-force-atf-to-amend-its-ghost-gun-ruling\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"massad-ayoob-named-president-of-saf\" title=\"Massad Ayoob Named President of SAF\">California Attorney General Sues to Force ATF to Amend Its \u2018Ghost Gun\u2019 Ruling<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The winner of the Outstanding American Handgunner of the Year Award in 1998, Mas has won several state and regional handgun shooting championships. He was the first person to earn the title of Five Gun Master in the International Defensive Pistol Association. He has been handgun editor of GUNS magazine and law enforcement columnist for AMERICAN HANDGUNNER since the 1970s, and has published thousands of articles in gun magazines, martial arts publications, and law enforcement journals. He is the author of some twenty books on firearms, self-defense, and related topics, including \u201cIn the Gravest Extreme\u201d and \u201cDeadly Force,\u201d widely considered to be authoritative texts on the topic of the use of lethal force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has received judicial recognition as an expert witness for the courts in weapons and shooting cases since 1979, and served as a fully sworn and empowered, part time police officer for 43 years, mostly at supervisor rank. Ayoob founded the Lethal Force Institute in 1981 and served as its director until 2009, and now trains through the Massad Ayoob Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has appeared on CLE-TV delivering continuing legal education for attorneys, through the American Law Institute and American Bar Association, and has been retained to train attorneys to handle deadly force cases through the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network. Ayoob served for two years as co-vice chair of the Forensic Evidence Committee of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He also appeared in each episode of Personal Defense TV (Sportsman\u2019s Channel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are both proud and delighted that Mas Ayoob has assumed the SAF presidency,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cI\u2019ve had the pleasure of working with him over the years as a SAF trustee, and look forward to working with him more closely in his new role. Without a doubt, Mas Ayoob is true defender of the Second Amendment, and his devotion to protecting and advancing the right to keep and bear arms will be critical as we face new challenges.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About SAF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) is the nation\u2019s oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms.\u00a0 Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to more than 650,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-4bc5bc0d-553d-41bb-888a-64e92d3d15d0\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe are both proud and delighted that Mas Ayoob has assumed the SAF presidency,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M.
