    And if you know someone with a few different kinds practice with theirs before you buy your own

    And if you don’t, some gun ranges have rentals. This can be a good way to shoot a variety of calibers and designs to see what you like.

      Its worth noting how little practice you actually need to be dangerous to the correct person.

      Good point, I’m used to living in an area with a really high percentage of people who are gun owners (like higher than the national average) so I didn’t even think of that.

      An additional bonus point: if you don’t feel comfortable personally owning firearms or having them in your home, having a larger group of friends can help. The more people you know the more likely you are to know a gun owner or someone who’s comfortable owning firearms.
