I am a state licensed Firearms instructor. I teach security officers their State mandated training. I do not sell any Firearms, only provide training.

Before I purchase your product, just seeing if my ability to use your product will be turned off.

Thank you. It appears my instruction services are within guidelines

Are there any forbidden industries from using square
