After years of working with hunters, this question never gets old. Every hunter has their go-to caliber, and everyone thinks theirs is the best choice. Some stick with what their grandfather taught them, others chase the latest and greatest. The truth is, there are several great answers depending on what you hunt and where. But if you had to pick just one rifle caliber to handle everything from local whitetail to that dream hunt you've been planning, what would it be?

5 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO AFTER BUYING A GUN

Buying a gun (especially your first one) is definitely a time to celebrate! It's also the time to get started on the path of becoming a safe and responsible gun owner. If you're new to gun ownership, those next steps may not be very clear, so we've put together a list of 5 things you can do after you purchase a firearm that will set you up for success.

LEARN THE 4 RULES OF GUN SAFETY
When it comes to fi****ms, there's no such thing as being too safe. There are four common safety rules that every gun owner needs to have memorized to ensure you'll always have fun and stay safe.

These rules apply in every situation - it doesn't matter if you're on the range or in your living room. These rules also hold true whether your gun is loaded or unloaded:

Rule #1 – All guns are always loaded! Treat your firearm the same at all times, as if it actually had ammunition in it.

Rule #2 – Never let the muzzle cover anything which you are not willing to destroy. Sometimes, this rule is explained as always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

Rule #3 – Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target. Any time you are handling your firearm, but not yet ready to shoot your firearm, your index finger should be along the frame of the gun, not inside the trigger guard.

Rule #4 – Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. If you confront a bad guy in your hallway, make sure that your child’s bedroom is not directly in line behind the bad guy. In a self-defense situation in a public area, you have to make sure that an innocent bystander does not happen to be behind your target.

GET TO KNOW YOUR GUN
Before you head out to the range, take some time to familiarize yourself with all of your firearm's parts, including the magazine release, slide lock lever, and safety (if applicable). Using the 4 safety rules above and with an unloaded gun, work all the controls, rack the slide several times, and insert and release an empty magazine several times.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES
Beyond your firearm and some ammo, you're going to need some items that help make shooting fun and safe. Eye and Ear protection is mandatory at nearly every range (and it's best to use both even if it's not) and a range bag or backpack will be necessary for carrying the you'll want to take to the range. If you're planning on carrying your gun in any capacity (open, concealed, or in competition), you'll need a high-quality holster and possibly magazine pouches so you can carry at least one spare.

On a fun note, you can also give your firearm a personal touch by adding accessories that provide some flare or some extra bling!

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
First, work on the fundamentals - sight picture, trigger press, and grip are a great place to start. The more you practice, the more fun fi****ms are to shoot! You don't have to shoot up a bunch of your precious ammo to get the basics down, you can improve your skills at any time with dry fire practice. Make sure to follow the rules above when dry firing and triple check to make sure your gun is unloaded before starting any session.

CONSIDER CARRYING YOUR GUN
Carrying your gun is a big decision that requires some extra preparation and a shift in mindset, so this is a good time to start thinking about what's involved. Do your research on all the local and state laws in your area to make sure you understand the legalities of carrying. There's no pressure to start carrying right away and if you take the time to learn about situational awareness, gun laws, and study real-world self-defense incidents, you'll be in a great position once you decide to start carrying your gun.

Take it Slow

When you're just starting out with concealed carry, it's a good idea to take things slowly at first. With everything else that's new and different, doing something like carrying a gun on your person takes practice to get the hang of. It will get easier and more relaxed as you move forward, so don't give up if it feels weird - carrying a firearm feels strange for everyone when they first start!

Get the Proper Training and Practice Regularly

Take as many training courses as you can with qualified instructors to learn defensive shooting techniques. Defensive shooting and basic marksmanship are not the same, so even if you're a competent shot, it's important to get specialized training.

Once you learn defensive techniques, you need to practice them until they become second nature and you don't have to expend mental energy to remember what to do. Even if it's just a couple of hours at a time, practicing defensive shooting is going to make you more prepared if you ever need to defend yourself.

Know Concealed Carry and Self-Defense Laws

Everyone who carries a firearm needs to know the federal, state, and local laws. Not only do you need to have a good understanding of where you can and can't carry in your state, but you also need to know what's considered self-defense. For example, it's important to understand if your state has a Castle or Stand Your Ground law, which are statutes that allow a person to legally defend themselves in specific places or circumstances.

Even though about half the US states now allow concealed carry without a permit, there are a few states that heavily restrict carrying a firearm, including requiring a permit or license for you and/or your fi****ms. Once you figure out what the process is for carrying a gun in your state, it's time to start following the procedure.

Cultivate the Right Mindset

Cultivating the right mindset means truly understanding what it means to defend yourself. It also means being situationally aware at all times. You must understand that if you have to use your gun, you are likely entering into a life-or-death situation. You must be confident in your abilities and willing to do what it takes to survive.

When you carry, you have an obligation to be aware of your surroundings and to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. You should never let your guard down, but instead learn to anticipate what could happen, and be ready to react. This is called "situational awareness." A good way to learn situational awareness is by learning the Cooper Code, which is a sliding scale of readiness, going from a state of being oblivious and unprepared (White) to a condition of being ready to instantly defend yourself if forced (Red). You'll need to learn to mentally move up and down this scale as the situation and circumstances around you change.
