| - Before going to the Las Vegas Gun Range, I had never shot a gun. I had never even held a gun. Hell, I don't even like guns! I'm Canadian, what do you expect?! But, I was in Vegas with my husband and another couple and we decided to get wild and crazy and shoot a machine gun in the good old US of A. (we have gun ranges in Canada, but not machine guns!)
We had happened to drive by this place earlier so this is where we went. There are guns all over the walls and in glass cases, but don't ask me about any of them. We decided to be cheap and went for the cheapest package, which was shooting one machine gun with however much ammo for $50. At first our husbands were just going to split that package, as they just wanted to try it out and not be shooting guns all day. We were dealing with a really nice guy at the counter named Dave. He took our husbands in and they shot. Then he asked if we wanted to try it out and we decided to go for it. He had some extra ammo for us and didn't even charge us for it. I admit I was a bit nervous before the whole thing, but Dave was an extremely soothing man and I felt like he was a trustworthy person to be around. He was patient when explaining to me how to use the machine gun. And wow, what an exhilarating experience that was! I can definitely say I've never had that feeling before.
After we were done, we took some of the prop guns outside and Dave took some wicked photos of us in front of the Las Vegas sign painted on the side of their building. It was a great experience for all of us and one I can recommend! Oh, and they have a really cute German Shepherd named Luger that is very calm and friendly.
