Depending on proximity, you may be interested in this class on the 20th. It is at the Sandy Springs Gun Club and Range where Claude Werner is a Contract Instructor, although I'm not sure if he is the one teaching this class. Other classes and dates are also available

If it's reasonably convenient, you may find it beneficial to take a course such as this even prior to purchasing your first handgun. Certain design characteristics of any specific handgun can sometimes affect our ability to use it well. Some of these may include size, recoil impulse, trigger characteristics, recoil spring weight, external control placement(such as safety levers, slide lock, mag release, ect...) and others. Having a basic class with an experienced instructor may allow you to identify individual needs and avoid potential compatibility issues.
It sounds like you have a great attitude. I'm sure you'll do well whatever you decide. Remember to have fun!!
