Milk is actually bad for you, but I still drink it.

Well, here I am. The newest of newbies in every sense here. Never shot or owned a gun, but I'll be receiving my conceal carry license soon. Looking for places to buy, shoot and educate myself about guns (besides YouTube).

Milk is also a gateway drug. Every single alcoholic, pot smoker, or needle junkie started with milk. Be careful!

By the way, were you aware that humans are the only species that drink milk as adults? It's probably not that important since we're also the only species that flies helicopters, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

Welcome to the forum. As you can see, it's a very serious place!

Milk, it's not in sync with evolution...

Probably the single most important thing you can do right now is learn the four rules of gun safety and never violate them, ever.

Second I would say learn the four color code system of awareness. This will help you so that you never have to use a gun in the first place in a confrontation.

After that learn the gun laws in your area and when you can and cannot use a gun.

My dogs and cats will drink milk if they can get it. Just put some in a bowl in front of them and it's gone.

Welcome to the forum.
Your search for education already puts you above many long time gun owners I've met. Kudos for that.
from a 70+ year advocate for milk, I've learned there is not much in life that some "expert" some where doesn't claim is bad for you. Including guns. I've also learned to take "experts" with a very large grain of salt, another evil, depending on the decade you lived in.
Moderation is the game changing ace in the hole. Except for guns, and for me, tools too, ribeye steak, maybe milk, tequila, fishing gear, knives, .....Ah heck, forget the moderation idea.

Milk won't kill you, but an armed intruder could.

Welcome. Find a reputable instructor and take a basic firearms class. Nothing better than hands on training with a qualified instructor. It will help you develop good training and safety habits from the very beginning.

I agree about the milk. Although cheese doesn't count.

If you want a more modernized take on the rules of gun safety, check this out. It's faithful to the intent but expands a bit on them.
