Troy Tactical Defense

Troy Tactical Defense approaches firearms training from the perspective that ownership is both a right and a responsibility. Their instructors—experienced in military, law enforcement, and civilian training—emphasize that education goes beyond fundamentals.

"Deciding to own and/or carry a firearm for self-defense is more than a right—it's an investment that must be explored carefully and with due diligence."

They teach the technical side—shooting mechanics, weapon handling—but also cover the mental and legal aspects. Students learn situational awareness, the physiological and psychological effects of high-stress incidents, and Michigan's specific legal obligations for firearm owners.
