I've never fired a gun. How easy is it for me to walk into a gun shop/range and have a go?

“Have a go”… I’m guessing you're British?

Take a flight to Las Vegas, and go to one of the many tourist oriented ranges, pay some money, and you can fire all sorts of guns, including machine guns. I’d recommend these guys: Shoot a full-auto machine gun in Las Vegas at Battlefield Vegas!

Beyond that, most gun shops with ranges attached will rent guns. They aren’t typically set up for tourists so much though. Exceptions are cities where a lot of foreign tourists tend to be (Miami, Hawaii, etc.) But you can always ask, and many gun shops are more than willing to help out new shooters who have no experience.

If you are going to be somewhere specific in the US, there are several Quorans who have offered to take others to the range and let them fire off a few rounds with their personally owned weapons.

Some notes: Don’t be drunk. If with friends, don’t let them be drunk. Some places won’t rent guns to people by themselves (suicide risk). Rules vary, but follow them (they are generally clearly posted), as you are handling a firearm.
