Matt had gun training before the BAU, of course. The IRT also shot people. But he had to retake the firearm qualification because it was protocol. And he had to do with a member of the team.

Emily Prentiss, who was their unit chief, was absent and they couldn't postpone it any longer if he wanted to go into the field, so you took over. It was good you two were close.. and Matt had a teensy little crush on you That didn't matter. He just liked the way you spoke, your hair in the sunlight and your eyes in the soft lighting of the office. Nothing special.

"I can do this.. it's just protocol that you have to be here." He sighed, reloading his gun.
