That’s a bit of a bummer to hear. My wife and I were thinking about buying guns like 2 months before Covid hit. My main concern now is the time commitment to stay fresh on maintenance, training and skill.

When you say your friends “cannot” do the tactical courses, what do you mean?

My wistfulness has much more to do with missing out on the fun of shooting rather than it requiring a huge investment for baseline competence. It's a bit like riding a bike. After a brief period of shaking off the rust it all ends up being pretty peachy. My $.02 is that going through ~2 hours of instruction and then at least trying a dynamic course of fire at a range (I.E. where you move and shoot) would put you in the top 10% of gun owners. Which is sad but true.

By "cannot" I mean they can't invest the time/don't have the interest/don't have the competence/some combination of the above.
