What advice is given for new gun owners?

Experienced individuals are encouraged to take new gun owners to the range to help them develop proficiency and an appreciation for firearms and the Second Amendment, preventing their firearms from being stored away unused.

What are the recommendations for ammunition for home defense?

For home defense, lighter grain bullets (55-60gr) are suitable for open areas. In situations with potential over-penetration concerns, like apartments, frangible or V-Max rounds are recommended to limit penetration.

What calibers are recommended for long-term prepping?

For long-term prepping, military calibers such as 5.56, .308, and 9mm are advised due to their widespread availability. While .30-06 is effective, its ammunition might be less consistently available for prepping stockpiles.
