So, I lucked into gun ownership by finding a "Nearly NIB" MAK-90 in my attic during a remodel. I have actually not shot it yet, and have only been shooting once before, at an indoor range with my cousin. I plan to purchase a 22 (Probably a Marlin 795 and a sling) this week for a cheaper to shoot option and attend a Project Appleseed event at the end of next month. I did not grow up in a hunting or gun-owning household, so my knowledge is somewhat limited.
It's my understanding that for transporting, at least here in MI, one needs a locked case? What are some other accessories and accouterments that one might need or want to get started (I do also have some muffs and glasses)? What would be in your "new gun owner's starter kit"?
