In Washington state there is a self-defense argument (RCW 9A.16.020), which states when it is lawful to use force. This affirmative defense may be used when the defendant was preventing another from being injured by an assailant often referred to as "defense of others." There are other exceptions that involve detaining burglars and using force to subdue a mentally ill person from doing harm to themselves or others. An affirmative defense essentially allows the defendant to admit to the crime but also to explain the circumstances behind the event and to justify the use of force in their case.

The answer to what I think you're asking is, it depends on your local/state laws. For example, the state of Tennessee has a law that will protect you in most cases if it was self defense, even with a gun that you illegally possessed. I don't think most states have that law.

How do you use a handgun?
That is a very broad question, because it depends on what you mean. You can use a handgun for target shooting, competitive matches, or self defense. You posted the question under the State and Federal law category. If you are referring to laws, the law varies from state to state, so it depends on what you mean and in which state you are located.
