I Don't Own a Gun, Where do I Start? [Chris Sajnog's 5 in Under 5 FAQ]

In this video, I'll give you five principles to ponder before purchasing
a pistol.

Hey, I'm retired Navy SEAL Chris Sajnog the author of Navy SEAL Shooting and one of the top 20 most frequently asked questions I get is, I don't own a gun. Where should I start? Well, new guy, start your timer as I give you my five-step plan for new gun owners in today's five in under five FAQ.

Alright, so this video is just for you if you're a new gun owner, you don't own a gun yet, and you're like, where do I start?

Step number one is to simply decide if a firearm is right for you. And this may sound kind of strange coming from a firearms instructor, but firearms aren't for everybody and don't think just because you want to protect yourself or those you love or whatever your reason is that a firearm is right for you because firearms are definitely not right for everybody. So make that decision and decide is it right for you or is it not?

Alright, so the next step after you decide if a firearm is right for you, well you need to decide what type of firearm is right for you. And there's obviously all kinds of choices. You can make either a handgun, a rifle or shotgun, there are all kinds and you need to look at your situation and what you're planning on using it for to decide what type of firearm is going to be right for you.

Step number three if you don't have a friend with a huge gun collection that you can go try everything out is to find a gun store that you can go at least look at and hold different firearms to find one that fits your needs and your budget, but that's really the best thing you can do is go get your hands on the equipment. Try it out. There are a lot of gun stores that also have ranges in them that you can actually shoot some of these firearms to make sure it's the right gun for you.

Number four is once you decide on what you think is the right gun for you, the best thing you can do is either go get a blue gun or maybe an airsoft replica of the exact firearm that you plan on getting and practice with that a little bit. See if it's still right for you because I'll tell you what, it's going to be a lot cheaper and a lot safer if you try it out with a blue gun or an airsoft gun, you'll be able to learn and see if it's right for you before you go and make the purchase of the firearm you were thinking about getting.

The fifth and final step is to make sure that you actually learn how to shoot before ever firing the gun. Now, if you've watched any of my other videos, this will make sense to you. If you haven't watched them, it probably doesn't make sense. So let me briefly explain. You need to learn how to shoot at home before you go to the range and start making the gun go bang. So what does that mean? Well, you need to learn how to stand. You need to learn how to grip the gun. You need to learn how to manipulate the trigger. You need to know how to focus and aim. You can do all of that stuff at home and you can do it before you ever fired your first round and you'll be a much better shooter and you'll learn a lot quicker for it.

All right, so that is it for today's FAQ. Make sure you follow this simple five-step plan as you get started down the path of gun ownership. Please check out my other 19 five in under five FAQ videos to continue paving your path to perfection.
