I shot when I was active duty in the service. I have rediscovered how much I enjoy it-- but I am not originally from Pittsburgh. Where are the places you recommend for shooting ranges and gun shops. I am looking to get better and hopefully do target competition. I also am looking to purchase an EDC and an inexpensive but nice place to practice and grow in this sport.

I have gone almost 5 decades without needing to carry... but the world is changing and it might be time to start being a bit more cautious and a bit more self-reliant (I am learning to hunt for the first time despite growing up rural all my life).
