So the rednecks down here in WV were surprised I have never shot a gun before. Of course they forget that over 2/3 of the total population in the country hasn't either, but since they never leave their own county for anything and can't afford internet for news, they didn't know better.
They are going to take me out shooting some Sunday (talk about a religious experience).
What should I know about proper gun control and handling practices? I know not to ever have your finger on the trigger unless you plan on firing and I usually hand the gun back to someone buttend first. I need to figure out how to check for a round in the chamber when I get handed a gun, but that will come when I learn how that particular gun functions.
Anything else? I am sure I am going to get instructed by those rednecks, but I am pretty sure they will leave stuff out because they just take it for granted.
