Firearm question

[Penguin_DE 0]

Hi all, a strange one but perhaps someone can help:

 

I have a B2 tourist visa. If I was to travel to the US and while at my relatives’ home, my brother-in-law hands me his gun for me to shoot a couple of rounds, is that allowed? 
 

Or are tourist visa holders not allowed to use firearms even if it’s in a private yard?

I can’t see a problem with this. I guess it would be if you somehow are breaking some local law/doing something unsafe. I can’t imagine anyone ever finding out about it either.

there is nothing against you firing a gun, as a tourist (obv provided it’s done safety etc)

 

many gun ranges (just about all in vegas!) will allow tourists to go and rent/shoot in them too, provided you have government ID (such as passport)

The is nothing wrong with that but be careful it doesn't get out of hand to be question by the Police .

Enjoy yourself.

I think this may be down to state / city laws and regulations. 

 

I know for sure you can fire guns in Vegas as a tourist at ranges legally.

Thanks for all your help. To give you some extra context:

 

This would be in Fauquier County, Virginia. The reason I’m concerned is because I may write an article about the experience.

 

I’ve found this page but it’s a bit confusing:  https://www.walkertaylorlaw.com/shoot-gun-in-the-us-as-a-tourist/
