There are many types of hobbies to keep people occupied and out of those, shooting guns is a hobby that many people do not understand. There is a great sense of pride when you can fire a weapon safely and hit a bulls eye.
With the Government encroaching on our rights every day, it is important for the average citizen to have a weapon. The whole point of the 2nd amendment was to arm the state so that they could rebel against the Government should they try to impose tyrannical rule upon the states.
With crime at all time high levels, being armed is more important than ever. People say but the criminal will just shoot you with your own gun, but if your trained and know how to use it, I doubt the criminal will get close enough to take your weapon from you.
Gun safety is very important when firing weapons. 99% of all gun accidents come from careless use of the weapon. Here are the 4 pillars of gun safety:
- Always assume any gun you handle is loaded and ready to fire.
- Always point the muzzle in a safe direction; never point a firearm at anyone or anything you don't want to shoot.
- Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
- Keep the action open and the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it.
