Sometimes you don't even need to get them to the range.
I used to work in a highly gun-unfriendly area, where ranges were rare, inconvenient and expensive. But I still taught a sometimes free, sometimes fee course on firearms familiarity for non-firearms owners. The idea was to make them at least safe around the things, and perhaps able to use one in an emergency, if they were lucky enough to get or find one.
Frankly, I wish I had an afternoon like that as a kid. Eddie Eagle was long after my time. I grew up shooting rifles and shotguns, but not handguns. I eventually got a revolver when I was 23, but didn't have an auto loader until I was 30. All those dang buttons, levers and such, never in the same places, all with different functions, different spring strengths, guns with different features, etc. I was a very pro-gun guy, but wasn't comfortable with an autoloading pistol until I was 30. Silly.
Anyway, I neutralized the political opposition of quite a few anti-gun people who were terrified of the things before I introduced them to some beautiful historical firearms, and their operation and care. Never even got to the range with them.
