Im 15 and i wanna know if im old enough to go to a gun range. do i have to get a permit or take a class?

Question

shooting

Answer 1

Nothing special is needed.

YES! You can legally go to a range! (with a adult)

Answer 2

You only have to have direct adult supervision

Answer 3

Depends on what state you live in. Some states make it illegal for minors to handle firearms. Most areas though allow it with adult supervision. Just call the range you want to go to and ask. They can tell you their limits. Some ranges may also limit age stricter than the law due to insurance reasons.

Answer 4

yes, no and no, but taking a class is a very wise thing to do and its recommended. since youre 15 you will need to be accompanied by someone of 18 yrs of age for shooting long guns and 21 for handguns and assault rifles
