Method guns in america as a tourist

[fenty]

i'm going to texas in august (I live in the uk) and i'm really excited to go to a gun range. Is it stupid to think I can just shoot myself in the head? Or just steal someone's gun and use it?? I know it would inconvenience my family and stuff but it would be really convenient for me

Trying to steal someone's gun is a great way to got to prison. Do not try that.

Texas has more leniant laws on guns but it is up to the individual range as to whether to allow you have a gun. If you have never shot one before, they probably are not going to let you do anything without an instructor at the very least. They generally do not like handing noobs a murder weapon.

It would be really difficult to steal someone's gun as I don't think anyone would just leave a gun lying around. And your actions are being monitored in a gun range so it wouldn't be easy to shoot yourself unless you're incredibly fast with it.

The number of times I've fantasized about this. I live in a country where it's impossible to get a gun. However, I can travel most anywhere in the world. I've considered going to the US and trying to get a gun there

Ethics and morals, of course, play a part. It seems messed up to abandon my family over here and go and catch the bus in a foreign country. But when I say family, I don't mean any dependents. I'm just talking about my mother and sister.

My family loves me. I'm blessed in that regard at least. I don't want to put them through that.

FYI: Many gun shows in America don't require ids or background checks to purchase a firearm. Though it also depends on the seller, and make sure to research local/state laws before traveling.

This is known as "The Gun Show Loophole."

depends on the state and specific place you go to. it just means that they aren't mandated by law to do so.

the poster above said it . i can confirm .

better to go to a gun show. i went to one and found a vendor there after asking the other vendors who sells without a background check . he was going to sell me a shotgun for cash no id no background just hand him the cash and he would hand me the shotgun. but i didn't do it. i won't say what state i'm in .

As far as I am aware gun ranges require you to either bring your own firearm or bring a friend in order to rent one from the range. This is to disincentivize suicides with rented firearms.

All incredibly bad and risky ideas. This is how you get institutionalized. Get a gun license. If I could navigate New Zealands restrictive BS laws you can in the UK.
