The titles says it all...

I am going to america in a few weeks and i would like to go and shoot some guns. does anyone know if there are any states that do/don't allow people to do this. I would be talking about a shooting range type of thing i suppose.

Has anyone done this before, got any tips, or stuff that i should try out.

I am going to the chicago area and i might be traveling in a car around the area-surrounding states might be made.

Well I have been on a shooting range in Arizona and Florida. I'm not sure of the laws in Illinois or the surrounding states, but i'm sure they're will be some gun ranges. You have to be over 18 or accompanied by a person over 18 and have 1 or 2 forms of ID. They have a selection of guns to rent ranging from handguns to AK47's but they give you special training for those. I really enjoyed both times that i went, and you get to keep the targets as a souvenier, which look pretty cool. The best way of finding a range is in the yellow pages when you're over there. Hope that helps.

Ah, ... my "high-school" days are behind me so I've hidden the black macintosh away and given up on the idea of slaughtering them all .... for the moment!!

maybe something at http://www.nra.org/ ?

thanks for the replies and keep them comming guys.

I was at the nra site last night Hobbes but unfortunatly i am too lazy to look through all the crap there. I was hoping to get other peoples, like Dave's, experiences.

If you were going to Texas you could buy a smapp patch of land and sit there after sundown waiting for someone to trespass.

I don't know about the Chicago area but I have heard of places in the States where they'll even let you fire mortars and other heavier weapons.

Went shooting a couple of times in a range in Atlanta. Cost about 40 squids each, three of us went so we all picked a different gun and switched about. Colt 45 special owns.

They advertise in all the phone books over there anyway so there should be no trouble.

You probably won't find many ranges inside the city. I think the city council in Chicago got a bit peed off with them at one stage. You might still find indoor ranges though.

well i an in america and it seems that firearms are sort of illegal in the state of illinois.

one of my mates who is out here says that he already tried to do the gun club thing but he couldn't do it. it seems that in this state things have been tightened up a bit and made that little bit more difficult for me.

it seems that i will have to leave this state and go to michigan to persue this goal...

My cousin came back from america a while ago.He went to a shooting range i cant remember where he was but he said he used a .44 cal magnum and it nearlly took his arm off so id avise you to try out one. good luck.
