Gun newbie, where to start?

If you're renting a shotgun don't go to an indoor range. Hit up a place like elm fork and enjoy some clays.

If you have the money get a s/a shot gun. More fun an you can get them relatively cheap.

I was told NEVER to buy a kimber because it will lead to buying more...

I can see that happening. They have some really nice guns, fortunately they're all out of my price range so I think I"m safe from that happening. I figure this will be the last high dollar pistol I'll buy but it was definitely worth it.
