Damn it. OK. Did you buy a gun because of the coronavirus?

You don't need like a "class" to learn about guns. I got my first .45ACP semiautomatic pistol when I was 12 years old. It's not that intense of a decision. I was modifying firearms by the time I was 15.
Again, not against gun ownership, but I've never had one and still sustained the loss of one partner and one step-parent to suicide by gun. Not the fault of the guns, but the reasonableness of having one during a period of crisis is extremely contingent on other factors

This is a good time to point out that there are many women-led/women-only gun safety and training classes that are a safe and comfortable place to learn the basics of gun safety and use. A web search or a call to local shooting ranges will usually turn some up.

Personally my preference would be that every gun owner seek out training first. BUT, that isn't always feasible due to threats or a changing environment like we see today. Use your judgement, be as safe as you can be, but don't be afraid to exercise your rights.

I borrowed a mossberg from my brother. I know how to shoot, taken a lot of classes and own a small pistol for conceal carry. But for this time...I wanted a rifle or a shotgun. As my brother said, better to not need it and have it, than need it and not have it.

Awesome. Congrats :)

If you want to learn how to operate firearms and safe use then I will take you. No problem. This is how gun safety is taught in reality, not by government. I learned from family as a kid and Ive taught many friends as an adult. Sorry for your losses.
