Description
Welcome to the Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Guns. In this book, we'll cover everything you need to know about how a gun works, how to safely handle and fire a gun, what kind of ammunition is available, how to buy your first gun, and so much more. The biggest difference you'll notice with this book is that it's not written from an "expert's" point of view.
I started learning about guns a few years ago and all that I remember from the experience is that it was incredibly intimidating. There were so many different types of guns and ammunition that it was overwhelming. Couple that with the stereotypical big egos that come along with most gun guys, as well as the political side of it all and it almost drove me away. Luckily, I stuck with it and vowed to create a platform of teaching about guns that avoided all of the intimidation.
Over the past few years, I have worked my way through managing a gun store, I've shot competitively, I've soaked up every bit of knowledge that I possibly could, and I created a YouTube channel called Green Light Shooting. This was a place where I could help the people that were in my shoes; the people who wanted to learn about guns but didn't want to deal with the egos and political drama. This was a place where the complete beginner could come with no pressure and learn at their own pace from someone who was also still learning. This book is a continuation of that mindset.
People always say, “There are a million books on guns for beginners out there. Why would anyone care about yours?”. It’s true, there is a ton of good information out there for beginners, but I think what this book has to offer over everything else can be summed up in one word: Relatable. I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it feels like to rack the slide back on a semi-automatic handgun and think I broke it because it was stuck in the rear position (that’s a true story by the way. It was a $1,300 Colt Gold Cup Match 1911 and I was absolute
