Hello,
I'm a young woman who recently bought a Glock 17 to keep at home for self-defense. I had taken a weekend intensive prior to knee surgery a few months ago and feel like I would like more training. I don't want to learn any bad habits so I hesitate to just go to a range and shoot on my own given that I have so few hours of training under my belt. Then again, I know I need plenty of practice. I'm athletic though still recovering from the knee surgery but can handle the gun easily nevertheless. I remember well the basics I learned - loading, unloading, racking the slide, etc, but not the finer points about stance, aim, etc. I'm also wondering if it would be advisable to learn how to use a shotgun, and when to do so, given my recovery.
Also wondering where I might find good information about laws in CA. For instance, if an intruder comes into my house, can I shoot him dead on sight or do I have to first give him some kind of warning to leave or else?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
