Can a European visitor rent a gun in a range near the metro-DC area?

Unlike the websites of ranges located in New York, the Virginia/Maryland ranges don't seem to specify whether tourists can rent guns or not.



Best Answer

From various reviews online on yelp, literally you can start shooting with just:

  • a form of identification
  • a credit card.

While there are laws about owning guns, generally a range you're just using someone else's, under strict supervision.

One other person mentioned that at a Virginia range you needed an extra 15-30 minutes for rules of the range and testing to get your range card, if it's your first time there.

Hope that's what you're after.
