The history of guns and firearms dates back to the early 12th century, where the first handheld firearm was invented. Guns and firearms include both rifles and handguns as well as ammunition types, accessories, and reloading. It is important for gun owners to make sure their weapon is properly cared for and kept maintained.
You have questions, and so do we. A lot of them, actually. That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive, reader-friendly guide to everything you need to know about guns and firearms.
Purchase a Gun
Buying a gun is a big decision, with important considerations. Whether you’re a hunter, target shooter, or sports competitor, you need to think about comfort and safety. You’ll also need to know what you want in terms of size, shape and function. Don’t let your purchase be a rush one. Make sure the gun suits you before you buy it.
Safety on the Range
A safe and fun firearms experience requires both the gun owner and the range owner to think about firearms safety. The owner of any firearm must always handle a gun safely and know how to use it. Although guns have been around for centuries, with proper education and training, firearms can be used safely. This section focuses on ways to have a safe time on the range and handles topics such as rules of the range, weapons safety, and cleaning.
Cleaning and Maintaining your Weapons
Cleaning and maintaining your firearms is an important step on your journey to becoming an expert marksman. Be sure to always keep your safety at the forefront of your mind, and safely load and unload your firearm before cleaning it. Always inspect a firearm before taking it out of storage to ensure there isn’t any residue left over from previous use. It’s also always a good idea to perform a quick self-inspection of the barrel after firing, in case any rounds have left residue behind.
Concealed Carry
There are a few different things you should know when it comes to concealed carry. First-even in states where the law allows you to carry a concealed handgun-not every place will allow you to carry one inside. You’ll have to check with the management or staff before you stick your firearm in your pants and head inside.
Storage Options
You must have a safe place to keep your gun. Since the advent of firearms, people have realized the importance of proper storage and protection. Having an arsenal of weapons is useless if you don’t know where they are or if they are protected. Most break-ins and murders occur when there is ample opportunity, whether that be a storage locker, nightstand, or under the bed. Having a gun vault will allow you to keep your guns out of these locations, while also keeping them protected from theft.
