I had a very scary situation happen to me recently and it made me realize that I needed to protect... read more myself. So I went online and started searching and I stumbled upon Trouble Defense. I reached out to Sheena (Mrs. Trouble) and shared with her my concerns and from the start she was very encouraging and helpful. She answered all of my questions (and I had many) and I signed up for the Basic Pistol Class and a session at the gun range. The class was very informative and Sheena is very knowledgeable on the laws and guns. The next day I met her at the range and while I was very nervous she walked me through the whole process and it helped to put my mind at ease. It was my first time ever holding or shooting a gun and it actually wasn’t that scary all and I attribute that to Sheena being there making sure I was doing everything correctly. I highly recommend this company and SHEENA - she is personable, knowledgeable and very professional. I can’t wait for my next one on one

July 15, 2026I had an excellent experience with Trouble Defense and Sheena during the DC, Maryland, and Virginia course. Sheena was extremely... read more knowledgeable, professional, and well organized from beginning to end. She provided a clear agenda at the start of the class, and we thoroughly covered every topic listed. I especially appreciated that the course still felt conversational and engaging. Sheena allowed plenty of space for spontaneous questions, open dialogue, and real-life scenarios without allowing the class to become unfocused. The breaks were also well timed, which helped make a full day of detailed information feel manageable and productive. Trouble Defense offers a wide range of services, training, and resources, and it was clear that Sheena is passionate about making sure her students feel informed, prepared, and confident. This was truly a day well spent. I left the course feeling that I had gained valuable knowledge, and I am looking forward to completing the range session!

July 12, 2026As a woman, I was honestly nervous about taking my first firearm class, but everyone at Trouble Defense LLC made... read more me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I had been searching for a Virginia concealed carry class near Fairfax and kept seeing their reviews, so I decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. The instructors were patient, professional, and never made me feel intimidated. They explained Virginia firearm laws in a way that was easy to understand and took plenty of time to make sure everyone was comfortable before going to the range. I left feeling confident handling my firearm instead of feeling overwhelmed. If you’re a woman looking for Virginia concealed carry training, Fairfax firearm training, women’s firearm classes, or even Maryland Wear and Carry or Washington DC Concealed Carry training, I highly recommend Trouble Defense LLC. They truly care about teaching safe and responsible firearm ownership, not just getting you through a class. This was one of the best investments I’ve made for my personal safety. I now feel much more confident protecting myself and my family. I’ll definitely be coming back for more advanced training and private lessons. If you’re searching for the best concealed carry class in Northern Virginia, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. Trouble Defense LLC exceeded all of my expectations!

July 11, 2026I’m very late posting this review, but I’ve taken 2 classes with Trouble Defense and I cannot recommend them enough!... read more I took the Beginner Firearms class in January (included a general overview on pistols, a cleaning class, and a 1 hour range time with an instructor). After this I felt comfortable enough to actually purchase a firearm and be confident in my ability to use and maintain it. I ended up taking the CCW class as well in April, and it was just as informative. As a woman, it can feel very intimidating trying to get into firearms, but Sheena and Lacey were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and I’m so grateful to them and Trouble Defense for creating such a safe and inclusive environment to learn. If you’re looking for any kind of firearms training in the DMV, I highly recommend going to Trouble Defense!
