If you shoot guns? how long did it take to learn how to use a gun?

The basics can be learned very quickly. But it is one of those things where you can keep improving over time for years. There are 4 rules that matter most.

1. Keep your finger away from the trigger until you are lined up on your target and are ready to shoot!

2. Always assume a gun is loaded.

3. Never point a gun at anything (or anyone!) that you are not willing to destroy!!!!

4. Be certain of your target and of what is around and behind it.

it was a specialized gun and it took a long time to get the hang of it but I became an expert at it.

@SW-User I do not know how to handle all types of guns only small caliber handguns and rifles and a 38 caliber nail gun. The nail guns barrel and shroud had to be flush with the surface but I have fired tens of thousands of rounds from those guns.
I sold other larger caliber guns that I had because I was not comfortable with them either. I am not comfortable carrying a gun because I was not raised with guns and never carried one regularly. Many people around here carry guns and there was great pressure on me to buy guns.

@JohnnySpot Is it hard to shoot a gun? everything seems it takes some type of skill.

@SW-User The best thing to do is go to your local gun club or gun shop.that has a shooting range and get some instruction. Most gun clubs are very friendly and willing to help new shooters

Couple of times at the range and cleaning each one pretty well had it sorted
