We all know that more people are taking steps to protect themselves and purchasing firearms. I am personally in that group. I purchased my first firearm a few years ago when the whole world looked like it was going to hell. My first purchase was for protection, but it quickly turned into a hobby. I really enjoy going to the range with friends and it has made me a lot more confident as a gun owner.

Full disclosure, the reason I never owned a gun was that I was terrified of them. I always wanted to get over the fear and I had to find the right time and people to do it. If you are in that boat, the best thing you can do is find someone you trust that owns firearms and ask as many questions as possible. I haven't met a single responsible gun owner that won't take time out to teach you or give you advice. They want you to be safe and confident with a firearm as much as you do.
