The non prohibited firearms safety course is only $50, another $80 for your PAL. Of course if you know someone with a firearm, and have access to a remote area, it doesn't cost you a dime (talking great white north here)

I'll take you to the range and let you shoot mine if you're coming through NC.

Otherwise find a range that rents firearms. I doubt most care where you are from.

[ricochettty]

Raleigh area. Probably 30-45 minutes from 95, I forget exactly how long it takes.

Hmmmm I am close to 95 here in maryland. I dont own any pistols but I have high powered rifles, shotguns and muzzleloaders. Your welcome to shoot them if you want but the gun range is about 50 minutes from here and costs $10 per person to shoot. Ammo is also not cheap either. If the guy in NC is closer to a gun range that would probably be your best bet. All of my guns are used for hunting.


How about you bring some of your big canadian deer down this way!!!!


Got this guy 2 days before cristmas!

What muzzleloaders do you have?

I have a Lyman Plains pistol. Don't fire it a whole lot though.

My favorite gun is my Savage 10ML-II. I can tell who knows about muzzleloading at the range, occasionally someone will ask me where the cloud of smoke it.

I have been shooting Knights since they very first invented the inline. Currently I shoot a Knight Disc Elite in SS/black. I got my father a NEF Huntsman 3 years ago for christmas and thats also a very nice shooting gun. Before that we both owned a Knight LK-93 (wolverine) and I also has a knight bighorn.

The savage is a sweet gun but makes me leary due to being smokeless. Smokeless powder is so powerful you dont want to accidentaly mess up and load 2 charges!

My bighorn i sold to a friend

Well, I few years ago I went to a shooting range in Florida with 2 friends. None of us had US citizenship, we were just tourists and wanted to try it out.

We had no problem at all, I think all we had to do is fill in a form, maybe leave a copy/show our passports to the clerk, can't remember exactly.

One of us is a Major in the Swiss army, so he took over the responsibility as "tutor".

im canadian and my brother and i want to learn to fire a gun. after some research it seems to be very complicated and costly to even be allowed to fire one up here let alone own one. all we want is to spend some time on a range and fire a gun. im wondering if this is the type of thing we would be allowed to do in the us even though we are not citizens. ill be taking a road trip down to florida in march and was hoping we could make a stop along the way and have a quick lesson in shooting. can anyone offer any help?

I'm British - the last time I travelled to the US to visit my brother who lives there, we went to a gun range with his father-in-law, who is American.

Basically all we had to do is sign some forms (waivers), and that was it, we were allowed to shoot. We were asked if we had any experience shooting before, and if we wanted supervision on the range. I have previously military experience, so was fine, - and my brothers father-in-law is an ex-cop, so acted as tutor for my father and brother.

As far as I understood, the fact that we attended the range with a US citizen as part of our group was incidental. We could have shot had we gone by ourselves, provided we signed the paperwork first.

This was in Seattle, Washington State.

It really depends on the state you're in and the gun laws they have on the books. Some ranges are setup so that you don't need to bring your own and can pay to shoot what they have. Around here though, I don't know of any ranges that "rent" firearms. You pretty much have to have your own to shoot. That shouldn't exactly stop you though, as long as you know someone who owns their own. My cousin was telling me of a place in PA that had some crazy stuff you could shoot, but that was years ago.
Of course, if you're visiting friends or relatives in the US who own their own firearms and have a ton of land, you can do pretty much whatever you want.

That range I was at in Seattle had two guys in the bay next to me that had rented a pistol from the range. It was chambered for a .50 cal pistol round (I forgot exactly which pistol it was).

On the first shot the sound / compression wave was so great that it broke the strip-light above their heads in the bay.

I can keep my concentration even when someone is shooting a .44 in the bay next to me, but not this. I had to wait until they had used all their rounds and moved onto something a bit smaller before I was able to continue shooting.
