Many times when people find out you’re new to something they want to give you all sorts of advice, even if it’s not asked for.
Learning to shoot is no exception.

The 5th rule–don’t go shooting with anyone who doesn’t know the first 4 rules.

A mantra my first instructor gave me before I took my first learning shots:
Never un holster a gun you don’t intend to use - ( or clean, put away, etc )
Never point a gun at something you don’t intend to shoot
Never shoot anything you don’t intend to kill
The message was clear, it’s not a toy, so don’t play with it. Always handle it with known purpose , And always do so correctly aware of the potential results.

Sounds basic, but shoot and shoot often. As often as you can, plus some.
