As others have said, no gated communities. As a fellow light sleeper (and insomniac), the better investment would be allocating funds toward insulating the house and potentially installing high-grade windows. The city isn't particularly loud in most neighborhoods compared to other cities, but a lot of the houses, including new builds, have shitty insulation that allows you to hear everything and leads to higher heating prices. Decent-sized yard + good insulation and you'll be fine.

I have a friend who is a young guy, certified trainer and absolutely the guy you’re looking for. Send me a DM if you want an intro. I think he charged me ~$120 to take my wife to the range for 2 hours and finished with the exam. She had only shot once in her life before that.

Oh yeah. I have my own thoughts on 2A. My guess is that the founding fathers wanted to ensure that what they did to the indigenous people here couldn’t be done again to them.

I’ve read up on black gun clubs and think it’s smart for everyone to have at least a working knowledge of guns and the laws around them.

Do you want to learn how to use a handgun, shotgun, rifle? Anthony Arms in west Mifflin has a basic handgun class, and a variety of pistols they let you use in their basement range if you purchase their over priced ammunition.

I agree totally. I don't really drink much beer anymore, but for a long time PBR was my go to. I know the Pabst family, but when PBR became cool it blew me away. Asides from knowing the family, I always thought it was just a decent dirt cheap beer. Busch was awful and remains awful. IC is somewhere in-between the two for me.
