Taking that first step can be intimidating, though, especially in today’s political climate. You should not be afraid to handle or use your first gun, or to exercise your Second Amendment rights. Familiarizing yourself with the firearm you have purchased until you know everything about it and learning the general rules of gun safety will allow you to join the ranks of responsible gun owners.
The NRA suggests the following steps for new gun owners:
Brush up on Gun Safety Rules
Both firearm safety in general and the specific safety details about your chosen handgun; you can find these in your owner’s manual. The most important components are:
· Muzzle management: where you are pointing the gun
· Trigger discipline: how you are holding the gun/where your trigger finger is
These two principles are at the heart of gun safety, and the first things a new owner should be aware of. A class at your local range and the manual to your new gun can help you become comfortable with safety and handling rules, but knowing these fundamentals is just the first step.
