Your father's not thinking things through if he keeps a loaded gun in the house with easy access and hasn't taught you basic gun safety or how to properly handle it. That spells "recipe for disaster" to me, and that's how people get accidentially shot.
That said, you need your dad's express permission to handle the gun. As in "Dad, can I?" followed by "Yes". No exceptions.
