I'm just starting to get into guns, so here's a few blog posts that have been helpful to me as I've considered what weapons to buy.
- Frank on Guns. Frank from IMAO discusses gun care, carrying, ammo, types of handguns, &c. Good, and funny.
- Focus on the Basics. James Rummel gives some KISS advice for introducing your friends to guns.
- Litigation Prevention. Say Uncle tells you how to avoid getting sued if you shoot someone.
- Bought a Gun: Now What? Publicola tells you what do do now that you've bought a gun.
Update:
Thanks to Kurt in the comments,
- Selection of a Handgun for Self-Defense. A great page that will give you a solid foundation for understanding handguns.
Hi, Michael. Here's my humble contribution.

Michael; Glad to be of help! When I first became interested in firearms, I mentioned it to a local police officer I knew. He took me to the range, filled me in on etiquette and rules, taught me proper stance, and let me shoot both revolvers and pistols. If you have someone you could impose on to serve as a "mentor" as you get started, it will greatly enhance your experience.
