I live in central NJ, have never owned a gun, and have barely even touched one. When I was a teenager a friend let me shoot a couple clay pigeons from his small shotgun. Coming from a liberal, suburban household, that is the extent of my gun experience.
However, for the last few years my wife and I have talked about starting to shoot. We moved to a more rural area of central jersey in the pine barrens, I'd like to go hunting with my sons when they're a bit older, and I'd really like to just go shooting pistols at a firing range with my wife. I think we'd both really enjoy it.
Anyway, having no experience I'm not really sure where to start. I don't have any friends that shoot (that I know of). I honestly wouldn't even know how to work the thing, but I want to learn. So any suggestions on where to start, especially some place specifically in central nj? I'm guessing some kind of safety/basics course would be the first place to start. Thanks.
