- Trigger-finger discipline
- Loading and unloading procedures

What If I Am Not Allowed to Possess a Firearm?
You can still contact Trouble Defense.
Do not bring a firearm to class or attempt to participate in live-fire training if you are prohibited from possessing, accessing, transporting, or handling firearms.
Tell our team about any relevant restriction before your appointment.
Depending on the requirements of your court or referring authority, a classroom-based firearm safety education program that does not require possession or handling of a firearm may be more appropriate.
Trouble Defense cannot determine whether you are legally permitted to possess a firearm.
Questions regarding firearm eligibility or restrictions should be directed to your attorney or appropriate government authority.
