Veteran-Owned Trouble Defense Launches Adaptive Firearms Training for the Blind

FAIRFAX, Va. - April 18, 2025 - PRLog -- Fairfax, VA – Trouble Defense LLC, a veteran-owned firearm training company based in Fairfax, Virginia, has officially launched its groundbreaking Adaptive Firearms Training Program, specifically designed to empower blind and visually impaired individuals with critical self-defense skills. Led by U.S. Army veteran and certified instructor Dee Parker, the program is already generating attention for its inclusivity, safety, and impact.

Unlike traditional shooting classes, this experience combines tactile instruction, verbal coaching, SIRT (Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger) laser pistols, and fully guided range sessions to create a safe, empowering environment. All lessons are delivered with patience, purpose, and a deep respect for the unique needs of each student.

"Everyone deserves the right to protect themselves," says Dee Parker, owner of Trouble Defense LLC. "We're breaking barriers, not just in training, but in how we think about accessibility and empowerment. This is about dignity, strength, and independence."

The program includes:

• Intro to firearm safety and function using tactile and auditory instruction
• Hands-on simulator training with SIRT guns
• Optional live-fire range time with a certified instructor
• One-on-one or small group options for comfort and customization

The Adaptive Training Program is currently open for private booking, with support from parents, caretakers, and organizations encouraged. Sessions take place in Fairfax and Lorton, VA, and are open to participants 16 and older.

For those wishing to support this inclusive initiative, donations are accepted via TroubleDefense.com/adaptive-firearms-training, where individuals can also book training, sponsor students, or connect for partnerships.

This launch marks a bold step forward in making firearm education more accessible, inclusive, and empowering—regardless of vision ability.
