Genuinely, if you’ve never shot before, I highly recommend it. At worst, you learn safe gun handling, at best you find a new hobby that’s a ton of fun and has actual applications. Gun ownership doesn’t have to be a right vs left thing, Japan even has guns

Seriously in the state of Georgia they have free public ranges with a fishing or hunting license.

Personally I have tried it, and in a worst case scenario I know how to properly handle one, but it really wasn’t for me. I do agree it can be an important skill to have tho, especially in our current times

I’ve been trying to get a to a range since I moved to the city (I’m a woman and work in a not so great area) but ammo at the range is so ungodly expensive

That’s how they get you. Midwayusa.com is where I order most of my ammunition, but if you’re renting most ranges won’t allow you to bring your own.

I see. That’s such a conundrum since I’d want to get a feel for a certain gun before I commit to buying one. Any beginner recommendations? Nothing with too much recoil, I’d want something more discreet

I have an Sig sauer P365, it’s a really nice, accurate little gun with a relatively good trigger and its optic ready, which is super nice. It is pretty snappy though, it’s got some kick. If all you want is size and recoil, the S&W bodyguard 2.0 is a great choice, but it is less powerful. The Glock 42/43 are go-tos for everyone, but I don’t like how square the grip is or how the trigger feels

Thanks! I’ll keep those in mind and check them out in-store so I can physically handle them first

And I totally forgot, ammunition is super important and people tend to forget about it. If you end up with 9mm Luger/parabellum/9x19 it’s all the same thing, 124gr speer gold dots or 147gr federal HST is what I use. If you go for .380 auto, the 90gr sig V-Crown and 90gr Speer gold dot are both good choices.
