Thanks!Welcome from the gun-totin old broad contingent.
I actually just got those in my Amazon cart today! Lol and I'll be doing that to get used to my two beauties.Welcome to the forum and congratulations on becoming a responsible gun owner
I have one recommendation for you and that is dry fire practice to become more familiar with your 870.
Simulated shells called snap caps are sized to match 12 gauge shells and have a spring loaded primer.
You can load and dry fire to get more familiar with the pump. You won't have recoil though.
Not the same as live fire practice but is an important part of becoming more familiar with your gun especially after cleaning, disassembly, reassembly etc. Most online stores sell them including Amazon. 12 gauge snap caps.
Cheers!

Welcome to NWFA! Glad to see another 2A friendly who wants to take charge of their own well-being by exercising their rights. As I'm sure you're aware, outside of this virus outbreak that has hit us, an unfortunate, popular stance taken is the anti-gun stance and especially in your locality. The best thing you can do as a new gun owner is to get familiar with other people with more experience who can offer resources. Make sure to be a voice in your community. Sadly, you'll have people demonize you for owning a gun and as much as I regret to say, it is something you'll have to accept. There are just a lot of people who really don't like guns out there....HOWEVER, if you can change even just a few people's perspective about gun rights, then it all becomes worth it. Oh and shooting them is a lot of fun too.I think the same thing. Get out shoot it and see how it is for me.
I got a sling when I bought it. It's a 12gauge. I'll watch some videos.A sling on a shotgun in the house will hang up on every doorknob if you're moving from room to room. You can shorten the stock and add a Limbsaver so it's more kid sized for the smallest kid. The safety is for the trigger...if you hit the butt really hard on the floor, for instance, it can fire even with the safety on. Are you 12 or 20 gauge? Learn the rules of engagement and learn some tactics (really just problem-solving).
This is so cool you're motivated and determined. WELCOME!!!
Federal way isn't too far but most of the ranges are closed so I would have to call and ask.I'm a member at the Federal Way discount guns and indoor range in Federal Way. They have many handguns to try and have classes for all levels. I'd call them and ask about shotgun use and training, as only slugs are allowed in the main range.
You sure? A stripped lower doesnt have the 10 day bullbubblegum wait?Get an AR lower receiver now. No state paperwork, no waiting period, just instant federal computer check by the FFL. You can buy the upper receiver / barrel / other components later.
There are thousands of very knowledgeable people here at NWFA. Welcome.
Yes.You sure? A stripped lower doesnt have the 10 day bullbubblegum wait?
