    I start up with 9mm a week ago I used a Glock 17 I reload and chamber the gun myself and almost started rabbit firing it out of enjoyment I was so happy didn’t really take my time to hit the target accurately I didn’t care , I left the place with a big smile out of my face , I wanted to shoot the Beretta M9 but I run out of money sadly and it’s expensive in the place where I live that’s $20 for 15 9mm bullets but it was will worth it .

    • @groerulesyourface

      Since you're under 21 you need to have someone with you who is at least 21 in order to rent guns. It does not have to be a parent/guardian. You also need to have a valid ID. For foreigners a passport will work. No specials laws here against foreigners going to ranges.

    Every NYC resident should get rid of the SULLIVAN ACT OF 1911 & NY SAFE ACT. Replace it with SHALL ISSUE upon cleared background and basic firearms certification. Permit fee no more than $50.00 covers both handgun and shotgun/rifle good for five years.

    This would be a great way to defend and exercise our 2nd amendment in gun strict states. We should open gun ranges all over NYC, Chicago, California and all of the other repulsive anti constitution states. This could familiarize citizens more with firearms and safe handling of them, and demonstrate to those politicians that every one thing they ban, is every one thing we will legalize to promote the 2nd amendment. We could even introduce gun sports like the fast draw pistol associations, fancy gun handling, and horseback shooting competitions. We'll always find a new way to promote and exercise our rights.

    As an out of state guest who regularly visits manhattan I always conceal carry while I’m there. I know it’s technically illegal but I don’t follow unconstitutional laws. Also manhattan is a prime area to target for terrorist attacks and especially in recent months has had a huge resurgence of violent crime, out of control protests/riots, and people straight up assassinating police officers in broad daylight
