I'm too afraid to ask this in the legalese section lest I be called a NOOB or a FUDD or some such thing.
Please, Mods - move this post to wherever may be appropriate.
I've on occasion found myself in the situation that I've offered to take a friend that has never held a gun before to the range with me and they have accepted.
But I've been concerned in those instances that they have actually never even seen a real gun in person before. So I've thought about ways I could get one in there hands (Obviously in a very safe manner with no ammo present) that they may 'play around' with it. You know, get used to the action and the heft etc, etc.
I personally think this is a perfectly reasonable step in the safe use of firearms. I mean the first experience at a real range and the anxiety that may be behind a persons' first time ever holding a gun?
Doesn't that make sense?
Anyways. I just want to make sure. To bring a NR to their house for an hour before going to the range so they can do that. Is ok?
But to do so with an R would be illegal?
I'm almost positive the R is illegal. But the NR?
Anyone?
