I know this is NORTHEast shooters but I thought I'd pose the question:
I have two friends, both of them in their retirement years but very sharp, no health/mind problems who have moved to Florida. One thing they're considering is purchasing a handgun for their personal defense in the home and possibly their car. Neither of them have ever owned a firearm before but they're in good physical and mental shape and are considering it.
Does anyone here know of any really good, reputable gun shops in the Sarasota-to-Port Charlotte area on the West Coast of Florida that you would recommend for a first-time buyer, female, retirement age but not "one foot in the grave" who will need some courteous assistance and some range time? I'm looking for a high-quality shop or dealer who knows how to treat people well, can recommend a suitable firearm for them, and assist them with the basic training and range time they will need. It would be great if that was all in one location. Price is not as important as quality, reputation and customer service.
You can PM me or comment here in the thread. Thanks very much in advance.
