Miramar College closed down firearms classes that had been offered to the general public since 1981 amid an investigation last year into an instructor who brought a gun to a meeting.
The instructor, Jordan Omens, was briefly placed on leave. He has since returned to the faculty and is teaching this fall. Administrators said he brandished a gun during a tense meeting in October 2014.
Omens is suing over the discipline he received, saying it was cooked up on false pretenses.
The college told U-T Watchdog in response to questions about the Omens case that it conducted a review of operations at the gun range about the same time and “became aware of potential safety oversights of firearms and ammunition.”
