[QUOTE="soonersfan, post: 2921874, member: 9063"] My suggestion; 1. Get a sitter for the kids while you and your husband head to the range with your dad. Don't worry about getting proficient on this trip. Learn the 4 rules of gun safety. Learn the mechanics of how to shoot with each of the guns you own and preferably a semi-auto your dad may let you borrow. Learn how to use the safety (if applicable), load, shoot, etc. You've never shot a gun before. So get out there, shoot a few rounds, learn how to handle a gun safely and get over the never shot a gun jitters. 2. Go to a place like Wilshire Gun Range for a gun fitting. For $50 they will let you fondle all the guns in your price range you are interested in. Then, they will let you go to the range and shoot the top 5 you like. Write down which brand and model you like, go find it for a lot less money online and have it sent to Sooner State Pawn. 3. Get some professional training (not a conceal carry class). Conceal carry classes are fine but they generally spend minimal time shooting. Find a class where you will get a lot of rounds down range that focuses on the fundamentals of shooting. If your dad has a semi-auto you can borrow, you might want to hold off on step 2 until you've completed step 3. However, if you need a gun for the class, you need to do step 2 first. There is plenty more to do but I think this will get you moving in the right direction. Good luck and have fun. [/QUOTE]
