Exactly. Even learning how to hold a gun properly doesn't come naturally. After a lifetime of cap guns and water pistols, what was the first thing I did when I picked up that rubber dummy revolver in the gun class? My finger went right for the trigger. Holding my index finger to the side of the...stock, I guess you call it, was completely unnatural for me and I had to consciously remember not to put my finger on the trigger until the moment I was ready to fire.

Practice, practice, practice...you don't want someone like me around a gun unless I know what I'm doing. That's why I want to take that beginner's class over again, since it's been a couple of years.

Ma'am.

No disrespect, but you need training from the very basics.

Try to find an NRA certified instructor, and please don't touch a gun without an instructor present.

Hey, we all had to learn sometime! Now it's your turn. :)
