9 Tips for New Gun Owners<\/h2>\r\nWhile we welcome new gun owners to our ranks, we also want to offer you some good, sound advice on using your new gun. So, we talked to Dianna Muller\u2014former Tulsa police officer, competition shooter and founder of the D.C. Project<\/a>\u2014to get her best recommendations.\r\n\r\n\u201cOwning a firearm is a huge responsibility,\u201d Muller said. \u201cFirst, new gun owners need to be aware of the four firearms safety fundamentals that we all should know.\u201d\r\n
Treat Every Gun as If It\u2019s Loaded<\/h4>\r\n\u201cBefore you even pick up a gun, if you treat it like it\u2019s loaded, nothing bad is going to ever happen,\u201d Muller said. On the flip side of that, of course, are the accidents that sometimes occur because unsafe people wrongly assume they're handling an unloaded gun and pull the trigger.\r\n
Always Point Your Gun in a Safe Direction<\/h4>\r\n\u201cAs long as you always keep it pointed in a safe direction, nothing bad is going to happen,\u201d Muller said. Again, you can probably imagine what happens if you don't observe this rule and pull the trigger while pointing your gun at objects you don\u2019t want to destroy.\r\n
Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until You Plan to Shoot<\/h4>\r\n\u201cIf you keep your finger off the trigger, until you have a target and you know you are going to fire, nothing bad is going to happen,\u201d Muller said. Conversely, if you have your finger on the trigger while not meeting that criteria, something bad could very well happen.\r\n
Know Your Target and What Is Beyond<\/h4>\r\n\u201cThat means, if you\u2019re shooting at a bad guy, but little Jimmy\u2019s standing behind the bad guy, and you miss the bad guy, you\u2019re responsible for hurting anybody with that round,\u201d Muller said. \u201cEvery round that comes out of your gun is your responsibility.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn addition to the basic safety rules, here are some other suggestions for success.\r\n
Learn About Self-Defense Laws<\/h4>\r\n\u201cNew gun owners have a responsibility to know about the self-defense laws,\u201d Muller said. Those who don\u2019t can get themselves in trouble very quickly. Don\u2019t assume you know when it is OK to shoot someone you perceive to be a threat. Resources that can help you learn more include the U.S. Concealed Carry Association<\/a> (USCCA), U.S. Law Shield<\/a>\u00a0and the National Rifle Association<\/a> (NRA).\r\n
Educate Your Family<\/h4>\r\nHaving a gun ready for an armed self-defense situation is critical. But it\u2019s no more important than keeping it away from unauthorized users. \u201cTeach your kids and everybody in your home about firearms safety,\u201d Muller said. \u201cA healthy education program paired with a storage plan is the safest strategy.\u201d\r\n
Know How Your Gun Works<\/h4>\r\n\u201cKnowing how your gun functions can reduce the chance of accidents for new gun owners,\u201d Muller said. \u201cThere are plenty of good videos on YouTube about the function of different kinds of firearms.\u201d One example: On a semi-auto pistol, if you don\u2019t drop the magazine out first, then unload the chamber, it is still loaded\u2014even if you think it is not. That\u2019s a potentially deadly situation.\r\n
Use The Correct Ammo<\/h4>\r\nIf you have a 9mm pistol, you need 9mm ammo. Other calibers won\u2019t work. \u201cAlso, not all ammunition is built the same,\u201d Muller said, \u201cand new gun owners should understand that full-metal jackets perform differently than defensive rounds.\u201d Muller\u2019s ammo sponsor, Fiocchi USA<\/a>, has a great tool to learn what bullets are used for what purposes. Just hover your cursor over the \u201cProducts\u201d header on the home page.\r\n
Engage In the 2A Battle<\/h4>\r\nWhen Americans become gun owners, they immediately have a political target painted on their backs by politicians and anti-gun organizations who wish to curtail the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. \u201cNew gun owners quickly find out that they\u2019ve been lied to,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019ve been told it\u2019s easier to buy a gun than it is to buy a book. Now, they need to join a gun rights group and get involved. The Second Amendment is a non-partisan issue. It\u2019s a constitutional issue, and it\u2019s for everyone.\u201d","post_title":"9 Tips for New Gun Owners Who Bought During the COVID-19 Pandemic","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"9-tips-new-gun-owners-covid-19","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:34:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:34:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/03\/24\/9-tips-new-gun-owners-covid-19\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":167044,"post_author":"942","post_date":"2020-03-23 16:30:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-23 20:30:00","post_content":"\n

9 Tips for New Gun Owners<\/h2>\r\nWhile we welcome new gun owners to our ranks, we also want to offer you some good, sound advice on using your new gun. So, we talked to Dianna Muller\u2014former Tulsa police officer, competition shooter and founder of the D.C. Project<\/a>\u2014to get her best recommendations.\r\n\r\n\u201cOwning a firearm is a huge responsibility,\u201d Muller said. \u201cFirst, new gun owners need to be aware of the four firearms safety fundamentals that we all should know.\u201d\r\n
Treat Every Gun as If It\u2019s Loaded<\/h4>\r\n\u201cBefore you even pick up a gun, if you treat it like it\u2019s loaded, nothing bad is going to ever happen,\u201d Muller said. On the flip side of that, of course, are the accidents that sometimes occur because unsafe people wrongly assume they're handling an unloaded gun and pull the trigger.\r\n
Always Point Your Gun in a Safe Direction<\/h4>\r\n\u201cAs long as you always keep it pointed in a safe direction, nothing bad is going to happen,\u201d Muller said. Again, you can probably imagine what happens if you don't observe this rule and pull the trigger while pointing your gun at objects you don\u2019t want to destroy.\r\n
Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until You Plan to Shoot<\/h4>\r\n\u201cIf you keep your finger off the trigger, until you have a target and you know you are going to fire, nothing bad is going to happen,\u201d Muller said. Conversely, if you have your finger on the trigger while not meeting that criteria, something bad could very well happen.\r\n
Know Your Target and What Is Beyond<\/h4>\r\n\u201cThat means, if you\u2019re shooting at a bad guy, but little Jimmy\u2019s standing behind the bad guy, and you miss the bad guy, you\u2019re responsible for hurting anybody with that round,\u201d Muller said. \u201cEvery round that comes out of your gun is your responsibility.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn addition to the basic safety rules, here are some other suggestions for success.\r\n
Learn About Self-Defense Laws<\/h4>\r\n\u201cNew gun owners have a responsibility to know about the self-defense laws,\u201d Muller said. Those who don\u2019t can get themselves in trouble very quickly. Don\u2019t assume you know when it is OK to shoot someone you perceive to be a threat.
