Nope, never held a gun, well, I've played with Nerf guns if that counts.

My CCW is a .45 (Springfield XDS). Not into Glocks, never was too fond of the grip angle. I have 7 guns total. Been shooting since I was around 16 but there was a long stretch that I did not shoot. I try and hit the range at least once a week but man ammo is getting expensive and it's still hard to get so I haven't went for like a month. I got a good stash though. Hopefully I'll get there this week or weekend.

I legit thought that this thread was gonna be about shooting heroin Then I thought 'Oh ok, this thread won't get locked' then I remembered that this is about guns and its probably still gonna get locked.

It won't get locked if people can be mature and stay on topic. I've personally never been to the range but I'm dying to go. I just have no idea how to go about it. Do I just show up at the range and rent a gun? I would have no idea how to shoot if/reload it. Do they have classes or instructors? I'm from the south jersey/Philly area if that helps.

I've never heard of renting a gun. Don't start out at a range. If you have a friend/family member who owns a gun, have them show you basic operation and safety. If you know someone who has lots of property outside of the city (like in a township) go somewhere safe and fire off a few rounds until you get comfortable. Plus, it's free. Just make sure there is a back stop and be safe about it. Going to the range is more for accuracy and speed. I wouldn't go there until you are comfortable shooting and handling a gun safely. Also, go with a family member or friend who owns a gun if you don't plan on purchasing your own.

That's why I feel so overwhelmed on how to get introduced into this hobby.

I was brought to a range by a friend, thanks to airsoft and just liking to read I already had a basic understanding of firearms and how to treat them proper. I took to it pretty easily but not everyone is so lucky lol
The gun show I went to was fun too, held a lot of guns to get a feel for different models, thats important too, how it fits in your hand and the weight and whatnot

I'm from the south jersey/Philly area if that helps. you can take a gun safety certification course..I highly recommend that I've been to a shooting range (outdoors) twice maybe, but never rented a gun...definitely think about a safety course for all the basics Oh, side note..getting your hand's skin caught in the gun sucks!! The flap between your thumb & index finger - I kept catching it on a gun my sister let me borrow, when it unloaded - on the last bullet, would just always pinch my skin lol.

When I can carry, I cary a Sig P224 in 9MM. Unfortunately, I do live in one of the most anti-gun states in the union.

Air soft is a fun hobby. It's way less inexpensive compared to shooting at a range

Airsoft is fun but it won't protect you in the real world. I'm trying to sell all my Airsoft stuff but no luck so far
