At first, I was going to suggest call the local gun shop and/or shooting range and ask about courses, but then I noticed you live in SF so may not have a local gun shop. But, if you do, that typically is the best place to start. Most ranges will offer classes and have rentals.
You could also sign up for a concealed-carry class, which I assume CA still allows, even though the chances of your ever actually obtaining a permit are pretty slim. But, the class gives insight as to how to carry and feel comfortable with guns.
