What gear am I missing as new gun owner

[Cool Breeze]

This is my basic stuff that I always bring -

Gun Stuff:
-Gun
-Backup gun
-Ammo
-Mags (at least 5)
-Maglula
-Electronic Hearing protection (w/spare batteries) – Howard Leight
-Foam ear plugs (I double up) - Howard Leight Max-1
-Eye protection (sunglasses) – ESS Crossbow
-Holster
-Mag holders for belt (2)
-Dump pouch
-Belt - wilderness frequent flyer

Tools:
-Glock tools
-Spare parts
-All cleaning supplies,lube, etc
-Glock sight tool
-Leatherman (big),small, bits
-Knife
-Flashlight


Misc Clothes:
-baseball Hat
-boonie hat
-elbow pads
-knee pads

Food:
Water
Snacks
Lunch

Misc:
Sun screen
Bug spray
Pen
Paper
Chair
First aid
Paper towels

I also always wear boots with polyurethane midsoles because I am inevitably always on gravel at classes and EVA soles don't cut it for me. The rocks push through the bottoms and my feet hurt like crazy. I suppose you can get Dr. Scholls inserts on any boot...whatever you think works best. I use Oregon Aero® ShockBlockers® Insole Insert and love them even on polyurethane boots. Green superfeet didn't work for me.

I'm really hoping to learn the basics well on my CZ, and in parallel save for making the jump over to a 'final' platform - probably Glock with the availability of parts, armorers, accessories, etc.

Heh.

There is no final platform.

I've seen a couple of really good threads on what to take/what to do/what to avoid for your first class. Really useful stuff, like a notebook and pen for taking notes, chow, spare parts, etc.

Bug juice is really important in a range bag.

I wore Keens (like with no socks) at the last class I went to, since I knew it was going to be rainy and warm. I was pretty happy with that, although an occasional rock removal was required -- no soaked socks.
