The Reality of Self Defense in America: Setting the Record Straight | Lew Gosnell, Gunsite Academy

With thirty-one years of experience working as a peace officer on the streets of East Los Angeles, Lew Gosnell was there to see what worked, and what did not, during the turbulent years of the Crack Cocaine epidemic and the violence that came with it. The methods of enforcement and countermeasures that best dealt with the gang members and their associates committing those crimes, and were headline news during the 1990’s.

A United States Marine Veteran Military Police Supervisor at Camp Pendleton, he served as a Tactical Team Supervisor, working with a team responsible for special assignments as determined by the base Provost Marshal. An honors graduate of Rio Hondo Police Academy in 1990, and multiple commendation recipient from two police agencies, including the Police Star, for outstanding tactics in a lethal force situation and the Life Saving Medal.

Sergeant Gosnell developed and implemented an “Active shooter” program, supervised the city’s Bike Patrol services, implemented the agency’s first rifle program and was the senior Rangemaster, responsible for all firearms and tactics training of all sworn personnel for the Huntington Park Police Department.

As a patrol supervisor for the City of Maywood, California, he supervised a highly successful felony warrant team, responsible for the apprehension of violent felony suspects, serving over fifty “High=Risk” warrants for murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping and narcotics suspects. Over the course of said service, there incurred no firearms related use of force, or serious injury to officers or suspects.

Retiring from active Peace officer status in 2021, Mr. Gosnell has devoted his professional training interest to the field of “Church Defense”, and responsible and safe firearms defense for citizens, teaching at the Gunsite Academy, in Paulden, Arizona.

A Superior Court certified expert in firearms and lethal force use, Mr. Gosnell teaches the specialty class of “Church Defense” and defensive use of the rifle, pistol and shotgun, at Gunsite Academy. He also lectures on site security to all faiths and community groups across the United States.
