I bought a handgun and im kinda scared of it.

I dont want to sell it since i feel like its going to be a waste. its so hard to use, plus i feel like im going to hurt myself. I have not even shot it yet.

The best way to get over fear is to understand it. Learn about the gun, it can't hurt you if you don't make it. Also leave it unloaded, check the slide/hammer before examining it, and the worst you'll do is drop it on your toe.

@Chelsiegirl Simple as that. It's not gonna come out and get you. Also invest in a trigger lock if you wish (I think some areas require it). And never leave it loaded or cocked, keep the safety on at all times, really not much to it.
