Default New Gun Owner but not first time shooter

Like many people today, I finally convinced the wife it was in our best interest for me to purchase a gun. Current events helped to sway her decision. So, after much research and thought, I purchased a SW 9mm Shield m2.0. Gotta say I enjoy how if feels in my hand as well as shooting it. I am new to gun ownership but fired a few during my military career. M-16, 9mm, AK47, M60, .38. I will have quite a few questions about ammo and the like so I appreciate the help in advance
