It’s no secret that America now has hundreds of thousands of new gun owners thanks to the Chinese coronavirus national emergency. Gun stores have been swamped first time buyers and the industry is working overtime to meet the continuing demand for guns and ammunition.

Welcome to each and every new gun owner. We’re glad you’re here. But we realize this is a tough time if you’re new to gun ownership. Ranges are closed and training classes have been shut down. That means most of you who just brought home your first firearm can’t get the training and training new gun owners want and need.

Since the start of the emergency, we’ve run a series of posts designed to help you learn about basic gun safety and operation. And we know that some of you may still be deciding whether to buy your first gun and, if so, which one it should be.

To make things easier, we’re consolidating those posts here and will pin this to the top of our home page for the next week. We hope you find these resources helpful.
