The frustrating thing about having a pistol permit in NY is that it is technically illegal to even touch a handgun that doesn't belong to you (isn't listed in your permit). While this rule is widely ignored by private individuals, it does make it impossible for a shooting range to let you rent handguns, the way they do in other states. This makes it frustrating if I am interested in purchasing a gun. "Try shooting both before you buy" is pretty much the conclusion of any thread on THR when anyone asks about Gun X vs. Gun Y
So the wife, a couple of buddies and I have decided to take a trip to some friendlier state where it would be possible to rent handguns, and we're looking for a good range, which is where I'm turning to the wisdom of THR.
The range should:
a) Have a large selection of guns for rent (this exercise is kinda pointless otherwise)
b) Be close to New York. Though heck, we wouldn't mind driving as far south as Virginia or as far over as Kentucky, if we had to.
c) Preferably have an indoor range, since it's a little cool right now. Though if that's not an option, we can always set the trip back until spring/summer.
Any suggestions?
