It's worrying how many people are purchasing firearms as first-time buyers who are also dis-incentivized from training due to the pandemic. Sure, many states mandate training before initially purchasing and/or carrying a firearm but that should be an ongoing thing. At the start of the buying spree, gun ranges near me were all closed down and prevented the sort of practice that any responsible gun owner should have. I appreciate people like Maj Toure and his organization Black Guns Matter who are going and teaching proper gun safety across the nation. There should be more people like him

It's a valid concern. Even a gun range or concealed carry class won't teach you what you need: Situational awareness, proper draw technique, muzzle discipline, etc. Sheepdog Response - headed up by Tim Kennedy is another good org. with an aim to prevent responsible (safe) self-defense training. [1] Tim is an (active) green beret and retired UFC fighter, and their org. is geared entirely towards teaching the average citizen how to safely defend themselves (both armed and unarmed). It's the real deal, and their classes are pretty much 2 full weekend days. 1 - https://sheepdogresponse.com/ https://sheepdogresponse.com/ edit: I do not represent them in any way. Just believe in their mission.
