View submission: Looking for a beginner handgun class
Shoot indoors is where I’ve done several classes. Never been disappointed. However you should know that no matter where you go all the staff is pretty presumptuous about your political views and you’ll just have to adopt the smile and wave face. The concept of a liberal gun owner doesn’t exactly compute
I did my concealed training there after the shooting at the king soopers and the instructor was ex SWAT. Extremely informative about the consequences of carrying

Replying with the others only to say my wife just took this class two weeks ago and enjoyed it. You will have to endure a sales pitch for USCCA (brand of carry insurance), but good experience overall.

Would they have guns on hand to practice with so that I could get a feel for what I might want to own?

This but also ramge time don't think one or two classes is going to be enough if you want to be comfortable with shooting and using a handgun you need to shoot it.

Don't. Tell them politely that you don't share their political views, and if this isn't a business transaction you'll just take your business elsewhere.
This is Colorado - not Alabama. You don't have to be bullied into agreeing with the nazis just to get time on a range.

I don't know what my goals are yet, but concealed carry does not feel likely.

Most real life humans I’ve met don’t swing one direction politically.
