Not always.

Most places rent out guns.

I believe Freds rented for $20. That is on top of the hourly range fee and ammo you have to purchase. If you are thinking of making a firearm purchase and don't have any experience with weight, caliber, recoil,etc, it's a great idea to rent and practice with something first to get a feel for what you like and feel comfortable handling.

MD Small Arms in Upper Marlboro rents them for $7. Plus $15 for the range (2 people, all day)

They even offer things like ear protection for $1, safety glasses for $4, and targets from $0.40-$1.75ea.

Maryland Small Arms Range Inc - Shooting Range

I'm not a big fan of their range right now, but they are really close to finishing their new range, which will be MASSIVE, but the people that run the place, and their employees are great.

Eh not really looking to buy one, just wanting to see what it would be like at the range. My brother goes all the time, mostly for work though. I never really thought to ask him before but since there's one pretty much down the street, why not?

Got to get to Myrtle Grove early and during the week. Forget it on a Saturday.
