yes and you can practice at an indoor range inexpensively with the same ammo you will be using in a real situation.. I started with a Daisy match quality air pistol, mastered the fundamentals that are spelled out on the little instruction pamphlet that comes with, graduated to a .38, same...

it's good to get a check from everybody and then by the time they start making trouble you can hope they still bank at that same bank...
