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.

You seem to be a nice lady and all. But...the Constitution and the 2nd amendment in particular is not about your right to go to a “gun club” with all the swells, and shoot at targets. If ya’ll don’t understand, and it’s apparent from many of the comments here that you don’t, that your 2nd amendment rights are well past being infringed and headed toward destroyed, then your government has done a great job of indoctrinating you.
