Serious questions for gun owners from a total noob:
1. What's the best gun for home defense?
2. Also what would be a good starter handgun?
3. I plan on having 1 gun on me and 1 in my house. Should I get a 3rd for my car?

@basedbagel - shotgun for home defense. And I'd get a 9mm for everyday carry. I actually own a .45... but that's because I was ignorant when I started buying. I find my buddy's 9mm much easier to shoot accurately.
In addition to what everyone else here has said... I recommend practicing by dry-firing (cycling the pistol without ammo). When the sights don't bounce around as you pull the trigger any more... that's a good sign.
@basedbagel - also, when firing, the trigger should be contacting the middle of your finger pad.
The other thing to focus on, is range practice. 👍 Get out there and hit some targets. Also, it's a good idea to follow the 5 safety rules religiously. Accidents happen. And no one wants to be a statistic.
You will find fellow gun owners to generally be very welcoming, and very responsible.
Cheers! 🍻
