Seriously though.
If I went on vacation to the US, would they let me use a firearm on a gun range?

THAT would be SO cool.

I can't speak for the whole US, but if you ever decide to come to Texas, we'd not only LET you shoot, we'd feed you a big, Texas size steak and encourage you to fire a whole bunch of different kinds of weapons!

yes- many ranges allow people to rent handguns- sort of a "try before you buy" kind of thing. and if you go to top gun...you can rent full-auto machineguns. Last count they had an uzi, a sten, a thompson, and that 9mm variant of the M16 whose names excapes me.

They is us, and yes. You would get to shoot a bunch of weapons. The problem ranges have with the .50BMG is the ranges are not large enough to withstand a 45 degree up bubble vertical mistake. To shoot, yes, we could arrange damn near anything that you have heard of.

We would be honored by your presence and I have pinged my wife, TheMom, so that you know that I am not hitting on you. (I would keep an eye on TC though!!!)

You come to Houston and we will fix you up with everything short of a LAW (which can be arranged with some notice). ;-)

Most big ranges will let you rent a gun, or use one if you buy the ammo there and they're in a good mood.
