18. Get some training first
Learn about the basics and the relevant laws in a good training program. Do some live-fire with an approved instructor. Self assess your capability for potentially utilizing lethal force. Choose a weapon carefully. Practice often. Operate it safely. Lock it up.

Good luck.
