| - I've always wanted to give the shooting range a try, but never mustered up the courage. FINALLY while my friends and I were in Vegas, we decided to just go for it. Next thing we knew, we were putting on our fancy ear covers, safety goggles, and heading inside to shoot some guns!
I very much believe that gun regulation is a must. I won't bore you or rile you up with politics, but really - I felt very emotional and odd holding and shooting a gun. BUT I think it's important to be educated about guns and what it's like to be behind one. I'm so glad I did, because I felt and saw how easy it was to pull the trigger. Yikes!
It was fun being able to choose our "target"! Some of us chose a zombie clown, a zombie nazi, a regular creepy clown, and then there was a general bullseye kinda target. Hilarious!
When you first get to The Gun Store, there's a little booth outside where you choose your target and your gun. Then they hand you a piece of paper with your "order" on it, which you must present to the cashier inside. Once you've passed along your "order", the workers gather up your supplies, hand you your target, and then instruct you to go stand in line to put on your ear covers and glasses while you wait for your guide to take you in.
Once in, you and your group (if applicable) are taken inside one of the rooms with the shooting stalls. It looks just like you've seen in the movies or on TV. The guides load up your gun and your target, then explain all of the safety measures you must take. They keep a very close eye on you and everyone in your party, to make sure nobody's safety is compromised. Then before you know it, you're done! Our guide was very willing take pictures/videos here and there, as there were no issues with it. Honestly, it was an awesome experience. So much more relaxed than I thought it would be!!
I highly recommend the experience and this particular place. You won't regret it!
