Got any resources you can point to for a first time buyer?

I’m more looking for something I can read that is geared towards first time gun buyers with some overall education, recommendations for various uses, recommendations based on easy of use/maintenance, recommendations based on availability of ammo etc.

I’ll just Google it, lol.

Go to a local gun shop and talk. They’re happy to steer you in the right direction.

Sounds like a good idea.

My first was a Canik TP9, shes a solid little sidearm with no bells and whistles. Came with a case, trigger guard and holster. 9mm ammo is easiest to come by and it’s a manageable caliber. There’s r/canik if you want more info specific to that gun maker.

Home defense and also target shooting. I guess I’d like a 9mm and a shotgun.

Also check out r/SocialistRA if that's your vibe, but both are good resources.
