FIRST TIME GUN BUYERS
You just got your LTC and you want to start the process of acquiring your first firearm, but you have no idea where to begin. A couple starting questions you should ask yourself are…
What do you want to do with your firearm? Is it going to be used for hunting? Shooting skeet? Home defense? At the gun range? Understanding the major components and differences between what you think you want and what you need are the best place to understand what type of firearm to start with.
Can you safely store whatever firearm you’re taking on? Is the ammunition for this particular firearm hard to come by? Properly storing your firearms and ammunition is important for the upkeep and maintenance of your firearms, and it’s also the law.
Have you spoken with your family, most importantly, your children, about handling the new firearm in the house? Hiding the firearms from your children and family and not educating them about how dangerous they are is the biggest mistake you can make in gun ownership. Showing your children how to respect them by not touching them without proper supervision is vital.
With all these questions answered, do you understand the differences in caliber between the specific types of handguns, shotguns, and rifles? Certain calibers offer different strengths and weaknesses depending on the application, so make sure you do your homework before you open and your wallet.
