	Finding places to shoot is hard enough around here that you'll
probably want to find a regular range.  In my visits to ranges and gun
shows, while relatively few, I have yet to meet a crazed survivalist.

	As for the ranges, they generally rent time on the range, and will
usually sell you targets.  Almost all will expect you to bring your own gun(s).
The only places I've heard of which rent guns are those which rent machine guns
for those who want to try rock and roll.  I don't think there is one in the
Bay Area (but if you hear of one let me know!).  So plan on borrowing from a
(very good) friend or buying your own.

	If you haven't been shooting in a long time, or don't feel totally
confident about it, I'd suggest taking along an experience shooter for safety
reasons.  At very least avail yourself of a basic safety course such as is
offered by the NRA.  *Much* better safe than sorry.

	Have a good time!
