Finding a Trustworthy Gun Dealer or FFL

Choosing a reputable gun dealer or Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) holder is essential to ensure a legitimate and legal transaction. Look for recommendations, reviews, and their adherence to industry regulations to make an informed decision about where to purchase a firearm.

Seeking Professional Guidance at the Gun Store

When you visit a gun store, consult with knowledgeable staff who can provide guidance based on your requirements and experience level. They will assist you in finding a firearm that suits your needs, offers appropriate safety features, and fits your budget.

Inspecting and Testing Firearms

Never underestimate the importance of physically inspecting and testing a firearm before making a purchase. Ensure all the safety mechanisms are working correctly, and the gun feels comfortable in your hands. If possible, ask for permission to test-fire the gun under strict supervision to evaluate its recoil, accuracy, and overall performance.

Understanding Your Responsibilities as a Gun Owner

Owning a firearm involves numerous responsibilities. Educate yourself about proper storage, transportation, and maintenance practices. Consider joining local firearm safety courses to enhance your knowledge and skills, ensuring you remain a responsible and informed gun owner.

Obtaining Proper Training

No matter your experience level, seeking proper training is essential when purchasing a gun. Even if you are an experienced shooter, furthering your education with advanced courses can significantly enhance your safety practices and shooting abilities.

Secure Storage and Access

Safe storage is a crucial aspect of responsible gun ownership. Invest in a secure and suitable firearm storage option, such as a lockbox or a gun safe, ensuring that unauthorized individuals, including children, cannot access your firearm.

Buying a gun without risking harm requires careful consideration, research, and a commitment to safety. Always prioritize being a responsible firearm owner, seeking expert guidance, and complying with relevant laws and regulations. Remember, responsible gun ownership promotes safety for everyone.

Looking for a thorough yet simply written guide to buying a gun for home protection, self-defense, hunting, competition, or sport? This book was designed by asking five new gun buyers what they wished they'd known before they purchased, and what questions they still have. It answers them all, plus the questions they should have asked but didn't!

It's written by a forty-year veteran of the shooting sports and gun collector. He manages a rifle team, and is a currently certified master instructor and master level competitor. First in the military, then in civilian life, he's taught literally hundreds of people to shoot safely and accurately. Assisting him in writing this book are wingshooters, FBI pistol defense experts, retired Marines, psychiatrists, gun dealers, gunsmiths, and other subject matter experts who will open your eyes to the facts behind the glossy ads.

HOW TO BUY A GUN begins by examining why you're thinking of buying a gun. From there, it progresses through types, terminology, and safe operation of the most common firearms -- rifle, shotgun, revolver, and pistol. It discusses in depth which type and make will be best for you, and what features will be useful and which won't.

Next, it looks at different places to buy and suggests some you may not have thought of, including how to obtain a good gun very cheaply or even free. The author has strong opinions on what and where most people should NOT buy. The book then discusses and explains basic marksmanship and the fundamental positions and techniques of sport, competition, combat, action shooting, and self-defense -- a great intro to the wider world of shooting. A separate chapter covers cleaning, maintenance, and simple repairs.

Heavily illustrated, and with a useful bibilography, this book will save you hundreds of dollars, and guide you to the best gun for your needs -- often at a much lower price than you expected to pay.
