I understand the nature of wanting to own a firearm as a recreation or for fun. "Looking bad ass" may not be the way to begin this conversation into firearms. If you have 0, as in have never handled a firearm, I suggest a beginner class or some instruction into firearms. My first firearm was a Marlin Model 60, which I still own to this day. Great rifle to learn, grasp the fundamentals and plink with. If you're simply going to an indoor range to blast some ammo every so often, a nice .22LR pistol would be good for you. Anything from Ruger or Walther might suit your fancy.
