If you have a gun range still open near by, go try out their guns. Most ranges will let you try any gun as long as you pay the range fee and buy/use their ammo. If you tell them you're brand new, they usually walk you through gun safety and how to handle a firearm. Most places will have you bring another person though, so just make sure you bring a buddy. I have a Mossberg 500, a XD9 and a cheap AR15 with a palmetto state armory kit on a lower I got on sale for like $40, came out to just about $600 total.
