Answer 1:

Pick up the gun, aim the gun, pull the trigger.

Answer 2:

If you have to ask, this would indicate that you have not taken a basic firearms safety course, which as part of the program, would have shown you how.

Please contact the store where you purchased the weapon, and ask them who is a good instructor. Or call your local NRA, they will have a list of qualified trainers in your area.

In the meanwhile, always assume that the shotgun is loaded, never point it anyone unless you plan to kill them, and when you do have it pointed, make sure you know what is in it's line of fire.

You will want to hold it in two hands, for control. If you have the butt against your shoulder, you may wish a very thick shirt, coat or padding. It's a bit of a kick for a first timer.

Any shooting should be at a range, and if you choose that option, a rangemaster will make sure you get proper training.

Please get some instruction. It would be like trying to rewire your house without knowing about electricity, otherwise.
