Your state sucks.
Lol! No you don’t have to have the state’s permission! A fellow FReeper asked me to her club’s Ladies Day one time and not only did I use all kinds of guns, but you should see my targets! Even my Va sharpshooter son was impressed.
But to own your own gun to use at a club, you need to go thru the routine and check-up. Yes—— that part sucks.
