Hi everybody.
After some research and a lot of help from everybody here the wife and I picked up our first gun a few days ago (S&W 686 4" 7-shot) for home defense/bedside. Originally we were going to take the NRA starter course this past weekend which teaches you safety, operation, cleaning, and some basic range rules, but I was unable to find any instructors on the NRA website in the Houston area who teach the beginner's levels of courses.
Anyway, if anybody could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. We're not looking for a CHL here, just a beginner (I think the NRA course is just a couple of hours) instructional going over the basics of safety, the range, and cleaning the firearm.
Surely there's instructors in the Houston area who provide this? We're actually pretty excited to get out to the range so we can become more familiar with this gun but I don't want to do so until I know I'm safe and I know I can properly clean it afterwards, etc.
Thanks for any suggestions.
