If you think you want a real firearm now is probably the time to do it, if anything as a hedge against future regulations that make it harder for a law-abiding citizen to get one.

But like Mac and Troop were saying you need to commit to doing it right.

1) If you don't want a "real" gun, don't get one. You seemed pretty reluctant a couple of posts ago. It has a lot of responsibility, and can have major consequences if not handled correctly.
2) Talk to people, these guys included. They give a lot of flack, but also a lot of good advice. Feel free to pm me if you want and I'll be more than happy to tell you what I did. Just note that I'm a noobie to shooting myself, am by no means an expert, am borderline ocd, and an anal retentive possessive control freak. Now sit back and see what kind of comments that last sentence gets me.
3) Try to find a shooting range around you that rents. Try some out, see what you like.
4) Go from there and have fun.
See, isn't that easy?

Jay if you are not ready to buy i am sure you local ranges have guns for rent. In the time leading to a firearm purchase, gun rental for your situation is a great option as it gives the option to become comfortable with a firearm and learn the proper storage, safety and operating techniques needed to reduce chances of accidental discharge of your firearm.

One thing i will say is that i am constantly scounting guns and since late november/early December i have seen prices climb anywhere from 30-50$ on each firearm i have tracked. This is not subject to everywhere, i do a bunch of scouting on Budsgunshop.com as they tend to have a very competative prices. With that being said it could just be from low stock from the holidays or the beginning of price hikes as the end of 2012 nears "elections".
