Ruger Presents: The Fundamentals of Firearms Ownership
Part 1: Introduction
It's no secret that there have been unprecedented numbers of first-time gun owners purchasing firearms in 2020. COVID-19, social unrest, calls for defunding police forces, and being an election year have all played a part.
Those of us in the industry, as well as the firearms community itself, welcome these new firearms owners. However, it is a responsibility of all to help educate the millions of first-time buyers.
Our long-term partner Ruger has begun a new series of videos with those new owners in mind. We will be posting that series here on the Gallery of Guns blog.
Part Four is now up and covers Range Etiquette. In addition to being a new firearms owner, you are also probably new to shooting ranges. Don't worry - it's not some super-secret club that has arcane, rocket-science level rules and procedures BUT there are some very basic thing that you should know. EVERYTHING is about safety.
