Help CTB by firearm: My questions thread

[Passenger4224]

Do you think it would be better for someone using a firearm to be sitting down during the attempt? Or would it be better to stand up?

And also, do you think it would be better for someone to fall off a cliff after the gunshot? Or would it be better to go somewhere more secluded?

I feel ready. I was going to wait until my birthday, but every braincell I have is screaming at me to CTB sooner. I will make my purchase sometime in the next few days.

probably sitting (or kneeling). you'll be more balanced, which'll help so you can aim better, move less if you flinch, etc.

err. not really sure about the second part. maybe more secluded? also, it may be difficult to intentionally set it up so you will fall off after the act. i would keep it simple: skip the cliff, just stick to being somewhere secluded where you can focus on the firearm.

best of luck.

Another question came up in my mind, figured I'd post it here instead of making another thread.

I am completely new to firearms and don't know much about them. I know I want to buy a revolver, and I have been doing research to learn about operating it and such (seems pretty easy). I am wondering what else I should learn about guns/revolvers before I make the purchase?

I also don't want to look like a complete idiot when I'm at the store lol
