Keystone shooting center will rent you a firearm and they have classes and training. Don't know what their prices are, but you could look them or their number up and try to find out.

I respect you for being willing to be open to experiences you've been told are bad. The 2A isn't supposed to be political, it's for everyone. Remember, it doesn't give you the right as much as it denies the government the power against you. That's what virtually all the constitution and bill of rights does... limits the government to ensure a free people.
Also hit up r/PAGuns... you'll find that the politics is mainly pushed by those who serve to gain from discord. The Firearms community is overwhelmingly helpful and very pro- even people with different opinions or ethnicities because like I said before, it's not political.

Also, in the pantheon of shitty beers, ic light has to be a few places higher (better) that Busch light And if not, iconic shitty beers >>> Busch light.
Even hipsters don't drink Busch light ironically.

Guns aren't bad, people that misuse guns are bad.

Reply to Fitzgerald offers county police support to help address Downtown Pittsburgh safety concerns by Jumpy-Natural4868
Way back machine erroring out this AM so I couldn't create a non pg link.
> Some Allegheny County police officers may be headed to Downtown to bolster the law enforcement presence amid escalating concerns about safety and violence.
> According to multiple sources, county Executive Rich Fitzgerald has offered to provide a contingent of county police officers to supplement the work being done by city police.
> Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey is believed to be receptive to the proposal, which has yet to be announced publicly. Mr. Fitzgerald discussed the idea during a recent Pittsburgh Cultural Trust board meeting, sources said.

DO NOT DO THIS. The Pittsburgh Zoo is NOT one of the best zoos in the country. I’ve been to the San Diego Zoo, the National Zoo, and the Columbus Zoo and IMO Columbus is far and away the best. Pittsburgh Zoo is like a crappy petting zoo by comparison.

Really good comments all around and thanks for affirming that you can split a common bill as long as it is specific enough in the lease.

Sure, if you like Trumpers, homophobes and transphobes, and feeling like you're eating at the kid's table at your Italian grandma's house.

We ended up going in a different direction but we toured 802 Corbin St in West Mifflin and thought it was a really nice house! Backyard was beautiful.

Out of state, but I’m very proud to admit that my paternal grandfather got into a fistfight at Hardee’s (aka Carl’s Jr.) with one of his coffee and breakfast sandwich buddies, who was a retired cop, a little over ten years ago. They both were about 80 at the time, and I understand that whatever the subject they fought about, it was pretty stupid.
My uncles were pretty upset about Gramps getting 86d from Hardee’s for the day. We grandkids had no such hang-ups.

This. Do this first. Ask to talk to the supervisor there. Someone will help you.
And as someone else suggested, sign up for informed delivery so you can see what should be coming.

You can come with me up to the Wexford state game lands range next time I go up on a nice day if you want, I have a wide range of guns from .22lr pistols to a suppressed .300Blackout AR15, and the only politics I'll discuss are the things you need to be aware of as far as laws and keeping yourself legal

How about the trolley Museum?
Heinz history center just got ranked in top 10
Children's museum is a riot imo for 5+ year olds and probably won't be super packed on a weekday. if your kids are older there is the museum lab (but looks like it's only open Saturday).

You probably aren’t going to like it here if that’s your preference. At least, not Pittsburgh. We’re gritty with no gates.

So? Getgo is focused on a smaller area or used to be.
Sheetz has a metric shit ton of locations and they are battling w Wawa on it's eastern front. And royal whatever when you go towards maryland
Why move into crammed areas that don't fit their giant gas tankers when you can go over to York pa, build a new giant denovo location in cheap land in the next up and coming exurb. Giant eagle is also a brand in Pittsburgh, and has synergies w getgo
Where I grew up my favorite sheetz shut down. 2 years later they opened up a huge one a few miles down the road right next to another gas station ... Somehow I think that other gas station got more busy
Also rutters on the secondary main truck routes

I'd go sign up for a gun safety class somewhere and don't engage in talking politics and you should be fine
