Commonsense rules. Whenever I travel out of state, I reread each states gun laws, those I will travel through, to refresh my memory.

I certainly agree with all of these 'Mistakes to be Avoided'! In regard to number 2 I would add that joining a local fish & game or gun club should be at the top of a the list before making a purchase for a number of reasons.

Many shooters are receptive to letting you try try a few rounds with their favorite weapon and love telling you all about the pros and cons they've experienced. You'have lots of good company before you make an informed decision on your purchase.
