Thank you Mike. Aside from Walmart & Gun Dealers, anywhere else to look?
I get ammo from Dick's Sporting Goods, they have decent prices. A little short on .45, usually
They periodically have sales, as well.
You don't necessarily have to have a handgun locked up on the way to the range, especially if you have an unrestricted or ALP permit, assuming the gun is under your direct control.
For targets, I use paper plates. They are cheap. The Shoot 'N See stick on things are pretty nice, if you'd like to treat yourself on occasion.
For ears, I wear these:

I just wear my regular glasses as eyes, but I've been thinking of upgrading to a set of prescription eye protection from ESS. Get yourself a half decent set of polycarbonate eyes and you'll be fine. Some of them come with interchangeable lenses, in case you decide to switch colors or if a lens gets scratched. You'll probably be fine with a clear set, for now.
My "range kit" is a toolbox that has a staple gun, sharpies, eyes, ears, my range ID (to show I've been cleared to use the range) and baby wipes to get the burnt powder off my hands when I'm done. I carry the gun(s) on my hip, or in a backpack with my ammo. You could buy a nice multi-pistol range bag, but you'll have to make sure you can stick a lock on it if it is out of your direct possession. I have individual pistol cases, I bought a set of 4 locks with matched keys to fit on them.
If that blazer ammunition is brass cased, it might be fine. Their aluminum cased stuff is junk, though I'll buy it anyway if it is all that I can find (again, I'm shooting .45...hard to find still). You may find it works just fine in your gun, in which case, enjoy it. The remington stuff is pretty good.
If you want to buy bulk ammo, you might be able to order it at your local gun store. They'll sometimes order a case for you if you request it, and it doesn't hurt to ask. Other stores will run specials if you buy a full case, as well.
You can also email every online ammo distributor you can find to see if they'll ship here. 9mm is fairly easy to get, now, so it might be best to just get it locally. Some calibers are nearly impossible to find in stores. Again, if you come across a distributor that will ship to MA - PLEASE do not mention it by name here. There are people watching.
ETA: I also will generally wear cheap foam earplugs under the ear muffs, it gives me more protection when shooting, and a variable amount so I can chat while the range is hot. You only get one set of ears, protect them.
