I'm not sure what the range availability/conditions are up in the S.F.
Bay area these days, but we have two indoor shooting ranges and two
outdoor ones (that I am familiar with) here in San Diego.  The
greatest percentage of the people that I have meet at the range have
been rather normal, comfortable people.  I have shot with families
(men, women and children), the experience has been very pleasant.

The indoor ranges in particular do have 'range guns' in a good, broad
variety available.  They arn't cleaned as often as I clean my own, but
are in good condition.  The outdoor ranges do not provide range guns
but do have reloaded range ammunition available at a reasonable rate.

Both indoor and outdoor ranges have regular firearms courses available
where they teach proper handling, safety and use of guns.  They also
teach you about the legal aspects of gun ownership and carrying. 

Incidently, one way to find a firing range is to contact your local
police.  One of the open-to-the-public outdoor ranges here in San
Diego is the local law enforcement associations range.
