Keystone shooting center will rent you a firearm and they have classes and training. Don't know what their prices are, but you could look them or their number up and try to find out.

I have taken the intro class at Keystone and will vouch for it. You spend some time in a classroom type setting and then go to their indoor range. You can bring your own gun or use one of theirs. There will likely be many people there who have never handled a gun before. No political topics were discussed.

My wife and I went in summer 2020 when covid was still a pretty big deal.

We wore masks and the guy told us we didn't have to because "when God decides it's my time to go, I'll go."

He went on to discuss the importance of owning a gun to put you in a position to save your own life.

Pretty funny stuff.

My wife and I went to keystone for their class and purchased from them. We are also leftists. Going in I was on guard to keep my politics to myself and braced to hear things I disagreed with but keep my head down so I could just get what I needed out of the place and gtfo. They didn’t get political except when someone in the class asked about gun laws in surrounding states if he was traveling with his gun and the guy running the class started in on New York being “communist city USA” but he didn’t elaborate a ton on “the commies” at least.

I belong to keystone and I like it. They’re pretty chill. Never met anyone that’s gonna force some shit down your throat that you don’t agree with. Also, look at it as a way to meet some people, that you normally wouldn’t be around. You might be surprised how helpful and kind someone that you might think of as an enemy can be. Good luck out there. ‘Murica

Range USA in Robinson also has rentals, and I believe training. They're right next to the Mall.
