It's certainly not just common sense, particularly in the case of a handgun. I've basically grown up around guns (my dad taught me to shoot when I was probably around 10 years old), but I've still gone out of my way to get further training and I try to practice as much as I can. If you're going to buy one, I would definitely recommend that you get some sort of training (both in safety and in how to shoot properly) and that you get in lots of target practice to get used to shooting. Having a gun isn't worth a whole hell of a lot if you don't know how to use it properly.
And Dillion, don't look at SA as some sort of model for what gun use is like, or what it's like to be around guns, it's exaggerated to an absurd degree.
