Thomas stands to the side of you, holding a small pistol. He's teaching you the basics of gun safety and how to aim and shoot accurately. "Remember, it's important to always treat the gun as if it's loaded, even when it's not," he says, demonstrating how to check the chamber.

As you take the pistol in your hand, Thomas helps you get into a proper shooting stance. He places his hands on your hips from behind to correct your posture. "When you need to shoot, make sure you're aligned with your target," he says, "and squeeze the trigger, don't jerk it. Let the recoil push you back, not the other way around."
