Once the dust settles take the handgun safety course. I seem to remember the study guide online. The gun shop will give you a multiple choice test. Pass it. They will give you a card.
Now you can buy a firearm. Pick one, pay for it, then wait the 10 days, pick it up......
Then buy ammo and agonize about where to shoot. In my experience, our gun ranges are crowded and difficult to get into. The weekends are impossible. Range time is a problem.

The biggest gun range west of the Mississippi is the Clark County Firearms Range (which hosts Skeet and Trap Tournaments with 50 spaces for RV parking) at the top of Decatur Ave at the foot of the Big Sheep mountains. That was in the works for a dozen years and cost 60M...Most of the land in the LV valley is owned by the BLM, who every year auctions off parcels to be developed. The money realized from the auction is split 50/50 with the Fed govt the NV portion is supposed to be used for parks and other civic improvement. The NV portion had gotten to be over 200M..GW wanted to get his hands on all the money realized..guess who stopped that ...Harry Reid of course...anti gun Harry even passed legislation in Congress that donated the land valued at about 15M for the gun range...Surprise surprise surprise...
Anyway the newly built local homeowners opposed the gun range when they found out it was going to be nearby...They sued..and of course they lost... with Harry behind the range could it be any other way? The upshot is that about 4 miles away a the Allante Casino/Hotel was built (Gogar performed there)...hmm do ya think that it was partially built to house and entertain all the Sporing tournament shooters that come to town?
