I say this in all seriousness:

Go to a class or get rid of your weapon. You are creating more of a hazard to yourself and your loved ones than anything by having that in your house without the experience to use it properly.

You are already unlikely to stop an intruder with .380 ACP at anything other than point blank range with multiple rounds to vital organs and/or a head shot. It is reduced to nearly impossible if you don't even know how to fire your weapon properly. Emphasis on properly. This isn't Call of Duty. You will miss and probably hurt someone you love in the process (whether through a stray bullet or your ineffectiveness in accuracy resulting in the intruder proceeding to act out his/her will).

I have fired a gun before but that was on some hood its the 4th of july shit. But no ive never learned to shoot it properly. No i wont sell the gun and no one will get hurt it is in a safe. I sincerely appreciate the input tho and agree i need to go to the range.
