Can a Tourist from a VWP country carry (Rent/ Borrow) a gun in say Florida
Looking to find out if it is legal to borrow or rent a gun from an individual(s) or company to use to either visit the various gun ranges or wildlife hunting in Florida.
I have a shotgun licence in the UK for hunting etc... but looking to do something similar in Florida without falling foul of any gun carrying laws in transit to any gun range or hunting area?
I know various friends in the US that would lend the guns while there but are they required to be with me while attending any event? Basically not looking to be tethered to any third party...
