One of the first questions a new gun owner will have is how to best store their firearm when it’s not in use. There are a number of factors at play and options available. In this video, we walk you through the things you’ll need to know to make the decision that’s right for you and your family.
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. NRAPublications.org/mentor has a free digital copy of the Guide for New Shooters which provides useful info about range rules, gun safety, shooting tips, gun cleaning and storage.
