Keeping your firearm clean is a critical part of ensuring that it will stay reliable and hold its value. In this video, we give you some simple safety tips and how-tos to make sure that your gun is squeaky clean and always ready to do what you need it to do.
Along with encouraging budding shooters to enroll with local NRA Certified Instructors for expert training, mentors can provide actual places to shoot that are safe and welcoming, help new shooters understand firearm safety, handling and range protocol, and help them locate nearby ranges.
