Oh Azure, how Wordforge.net has influenced you.
I kid, I kid.
Are you thinking of taking your restricted/prohibited license? There is a gun shop down in Inglewood that offers the course. For restricted, I think it's not much of a problem, but for prohibited, you need someone who has known you for at least 5 years to sign for you. I don't know the full details.
Also, there was some odd law that says you can't load a certain type of rifle (don't remember if it was semiauto or full auto) with more than 5 rounds, even for target practice.
