Hi guys

Post by asha » Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:15 am

Hi! i am Asha from India. I am student in Australia. During childhood days I used to play toy guns for dewali festival but then i got a toy handgun which looks so similar to an original one. But one day unfortunately i shot my mum with it, then i lost my privilege of even looking at a toy gun. I still have a lot of collection of pictures of handguns. I always loved to learn to shoot properly, i exactly don't have an idea how i could learn this skill.

Welcome to IFG. :) Please feel free to search and post! You were lucky that you were holding a toy gun. Real guns are not toys, hence safe & responsible gun handling is extremely important. Hope you get enough opportunity to own and shoot real guns in the range.

Welcome to IFG, Asha.

Regards
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Hi asha welcome aboard.

If you go through old posts, there is a thread about why one chose his particular id.
I would love to see your explanation unless of course your name is Asha.

welcome to the madness
If you are anywhere near 4650, PM me and I can point out some decent places where you can go and learn to shoot and get a licence.Or google SSAA,au for locations of ranges / safety courses.

dear asha please dont get offended.

its not a question of fake id.

you will see majority of users here have id's other than their names.

thats a username.

5 out of 8 people in this thread itself have suchusernames.

these dont make them fakes.
