Recognizing a need in the industry for gunsmithing graduates who understand the firearms business, including retail sales, inventory control, counter sales, customer service and dealing with vendors and management functions, Brownells partnered with Trinidad State Junior College (TSJC) to offer a program to educate students on employment in a gun shop environment.

Brownells contributed $250,000 in funds for facilities remodeling, inventory and equipment in what has been named the Brownells Trinidad American Firearms Technology Institute.

Representatives of both the college and Brownells look forward to the opportunities that await these students who will get hands-on practical experience in the retail/repair shop as well as in classes.
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.
