*
The description of the Company's Common Stock set forth in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed on November 13, 2012, together with any amendment or report filed with the SEC for the purpose of updating such description.

In addition, all reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this registration statement, but prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

Not applicable. The Common Stock of the Company is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

Item 5.  Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary duties as directors, and the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of the Company, or for serving at the Company's request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that the Company must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to its directors and officers, subject to its receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes the Company to carry directors' and officers' liability insurance to protect the Company, its directors, officers and certain employees against some liabilities, and the Company has purchased such insurance.
3

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation being brought against the Company's directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. However, these provisions will not limit or eliminate the Company's rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. The provisions will not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, the Company may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

The foregoing indemnification right shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have, or hereafter acquire by statute, articles of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or other means.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
 
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.; and

(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:
Form S-8 Registration Statement
   
Business Consulting Agreement - June 16, 2017
   
S.E.C. File No. 0-23530

To the Board of Directors:

I have acted as special counsel to Defense Technologies International Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its registration statement on Form S-8 being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  The registration statement relates to registration under the Securities Act of 18,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.00001 par value (the "Shares"), issuable by the Company pursuant to that certain Business Consulting Agreement - June 16, 2017 by and between the Company and Mark Taggatz (the "Agreement") relating to consulting services rendered to the Company.

In rendering this opinion, I have examined the registration statement as well as the Company's Articles of Incorporation and all amendments thereto, By-Laws and all amendments thereto, the Agreement and minutes of corporate proceedings and resolutions of the Board of Directors.  I have also examined such other corporate records and made such other legal and factual examinations and inquiries as I have considered relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion expressed herein.  In my examination, I have presumed, without independent investigation, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, and the veracity, accuracy and completeness of all records made available to me by the Company.  I have also reviewed such statutes and judicial precedents deemed necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

This opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States of America and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware.  I express no opinion concerning any law of any other jurisdiction or the local laws of any jurisdiction.  My opinion is expressly limited to those matters set forth herein and I make no opinion, expressed or implied, as to any other matters relating to the Company or its securities.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement and to the use of my name and the making of statements with respect to myself therein.  In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under the Securities Act, including Section 7 thereof, or rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose. Additionally, the undersigned assumes no obligation or duty to advise you regarding any facts, circumstances, events or changes in the law that may hereafter be brought to my attention that may alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein.

 
Yours truly,
   
 
/S/ Leonard E. Neilson
