I've never really shot a gun in my life, but like a lot of things, maybe I'd like to try it.
I have a very old Ruger (yes, it's a 22) that my wife inherited from her dad.
It hasn't been shot or cleaned in over 30 years.
My wife and I actually took it to the Fairfax County Police station in Sully who checked it AND DISCOVERED IT WAS LOADED

I live and work in Centreville and Fairfax.
Anybody know of a good place where I can get it cleaned and checked?
Anybody think it would be a good gun to learn with?

Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly should be able to help you. If the gun functions properly it should be a good little plinker. Accurate and .22lr is cheap.

I'd also read over the manual if you still have it (available online here: http://www.ruger.com/products/_manuals/markI.pdf) to familiarize yourself with the function and all of the safety aspects of course.

Thats an old gun right there, I think it'd be gun to get your fundamentals of marksmanship up to speed, but eventually I'd go with something more modern.
