I bought a gun but I have no idea how to use it, or anything about it really (have had it for a while and never went shooting with it) What should be my first steps? Especially because of the pandemic going on, is it still a good idea to get training or go to a range?

You need to know where the safety is. You need to know how to handle the weapon safely. You need to know how to stand and aim and all that. It would be nice to have an in-person coach but it’s not completely necessary. At some point you’d want to do a marksman course.
