Can a European visitor rent a gun in a range near the metro-DC area?
Unlike the websites of ranges located in New York, the Virginia/Maryland ranges don't seem to specify whether tourists can rent guns or not.

From various reviews online on yelp, literally you can start shooting with just:
- a form of identification
- a credit card.
While there are laws about owning guns, generally a range you're just using someone else's, under strict supervision.
One other person mentioned that at a Virginia range you needed an extra 15-30 minutes for rules of the range and testing to get your range card, if it's your first time there.
Hope that's what you're after.

Actually if you google firarm rental virginia you will come up with a few options including:
- Silver Eagle Group in Ashburn, VA
- Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly, VA
- Gilbert Indoor Range in Rockville, MD
and the list goes on. The way that rentals work in most places that I've looked at is that you rent a gun but you have to buy the ammo at the range. Most only require that you have a current valid government issued ID but not the restriction on that it has to be a state or federal government of the United States.
