You’re nervous, that’s okay. Take the first steps to improving your life.
I was a new shooter before too, the picture above was the first firearm I ever shot. We all start somewhere. Never quit.
I understand how you feel, unsure of yourself, scared to take the first shot. Not everyone is comfortable around firearms. It takes time to become comfortable and that’s understandable. Firearms to a lot of people are scary, dangerous, or unknown. This is why Armed was created, to help those who are nervous, scared, and unsure of themselves and to guide them down the path of practical knowledge that will change their life in more than one way.
The world we live in now tells you that you shouldn’t use or own firearms due to the evil people in this world that use them for the evil acts they commit. But you are your own person, no one should be able to tell you how to defend yourself and your family. Evil will always remain and it doesn’t matter what tools they use to commit their acts, they are determined. Do not give up your last line of defense due to the evil people in this world. Benjamin Franklin said it best, “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” What he is saying is that giving up your right to defend yourself will eventually lead to both security and liberties being stripped of the American people with no way to get them back.
What the majority of people don’t understand is that when you decide to use a firearm and maybe even decide to carry that firearm daily, you can not act the same way you did before. Using and carrying a firearm is extremely serious and should never be taken lightly. Your Mindset is Everything. You will see this as a theme throughout Armed. You need to be able to understand the seriousness in every situation and make the best decision based on the totality of the circumstances. You must make a conscious effort to be aware of your surroundings and so much more. A great class that goes over the Mindset and situational awareness is the Refuse to be a Victim Seminar. This seminar will give you an abundance of knowledge that goes hand in hand with using or carrying a firearm.
If you are a new shooter and have never even held a gun then you are the perfect candidate for the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course. You will learn EVERYTHING a new shooter needs to know. Even if you do not plan to shoot a firearm after the course you will still have a great amount of knowledge about the subject and how to be safe around firearms. This course was created to give you all of the basics and build a solid foundation of knowledge that you will be able to build from if you choose to. Look at the upcoming courses to see when you can attend.
Your Mindset is Everything.
Invest in your life.
