Re: New to firearms.. where to begin?
Welcome to the forum.
You are on the right track. Instruction and lots of practice are keys to becoming a safe, competent shooter.
If you post the county that you live in, perhaps someone will know of an instructor. Many CHL instructors are also NRA instructors and shooting coaches, though they may not advertise themselves as such.
If you can connect with an IDPA or USPSC club, you can get good informal instruction.
In my opinion (which is contested by some), it's best to start with a .22 revolver or semi-automatic pistol. The low cost of ammunition will allow you to practice enough to become proficient. The basic skills of trigger control, muzzle control, grip, sights, and stance will carry over to every other weapon.
