Just for the sake of being ..., I'll suggest that a Ruger Blackhawk isn't the best first gun. Congrats on living in Florida however where the choices are endless, ranges are everywhere, and getting an CCW is a no-brainer.

I'd also suggest that he take an actual firearms course taught by a professional. I've been shooting for years, have tons of military training, and made my reluctant wife finally take the NRA Basic Pistol course with a girlfriend about a year ago... she came home and our discussion about the class actually made me want to go take it.
