    Renting a handgun

    I live in sacrament area im lookin to buy a hand gun, but I'm only 20
    I wanted to rent a couple handguns I was wondering if there any ranges that would rent to my dad and let me shoot to.
    Cordova website says I have to be 21

    Thanks

    Some indoor pistol ranges will rent you a handgun but it would have to remain at the range.

      I doubt you will have much trouble. The range I most often shoot at is also a place that rents, and on more than one occasion when shooting with my daughter (16, but we've been going since she was 12) I have rented something to try out, and there has never been an issue with her also shooting said range rental handguns.

      I never bothered to ask if it was okay if my daughter squeezed off a few rounds along with me, I just went ahead and assumed it was allowed and have never been told we couldn't, and I have seen plenty of dad's and sons renting at the range, so I can't imagine someone will tell you and your dad no.

      Still, the only way to know for sure would be ask at your range.

        Most places will not rent you a firearm unless you are legal to buy a firearm nor will they rent to a lone person for fear of suicide. Go with a person over 21.

            Go to a few gun shops and handle a few guns to see what fits good.. Ive had ppl ask to shoot my guns at the range before not a big deal.. unless u get a cb person who thinks they are god's gift to the world!

              there is a indoor range in vacaville, guns fishing and other stuff that I beleive rents handguns, but I dont know their policy for the under 21 crowd. I would guess many places would rent to your dad and allow you to shoot, but im not too sure

                The Gun Room in Elk Grove rents handguns, but I am not sure on the policy regarding age. I would think if your Dad is with you that would be fine.
