That's a drop in the bucket. Thousands in Chicago each year. Jack.People go shooting in the Main South area of Worcester without a license all the time. Nobody seems to mind.

In Mass they frown on you shooting machine guns without the green card. Jack.
There was as nice rumble in the store at their opening festivities when the owner was on the range playing with my fifty.Cape Gunworks - Hynnis. You can shoot damn near everything short of a cannon there, and they are probably working on the cannon.
The places I can think of...
American Firearms School - N. Attleboro - very good selection of rental guns. Long guns too
Mass Firearms School - Holliston - very good selection of rentals. Handguns and PCC. No center fire rifle
Cape Gunworks - Hynnis. You can shoot damn near everything short of a cannon there, and they are probably working on the cannon.
Manchester Firing Line - Manchester NH. Very good selection of rentals. Handguns and long guns as well as full auto.
Granite State Indoor Range and Gun Shop. Hudson NH. Very Large selection of rentals. Handguns, long guns and full auto.
Bob's Gun shop & shooting range - Salisbury. Good selection. Mostly handguns but have times for long guns
The Gun Parlor - Worcester - Impressive selection, Full auto rentals available (with Range Officer)
Prices vary. Check out their websites. Hope you have a ton of fun.
Hmmmm. Who is she gonna shoot with in MA??? Do you have an LTC?Members
Brand new member so please excuse if my question is a little dumb.
For her birthday, October 10, my wife wants to be able to shoot a gun.
She has never shot anything before.
My question is can this be done in Massachusetts, or anyplace in New England? She does not have any training or any licences. If yes, where?
Thanks for your help.

I don't know about other places in MA but MFS requires at least one person on the lane to have a license (any others on that lane are under that persons supervision). If you don't have a license you can pay one of their instructors for private instruction, even if all they do is stand there.Most of the places do not require you to have a license, as long as you are not shooting alone. Sadly, it is to prevent suicide. I assume the theory is that you are pretty unlikely to kill yourself if you bring someone with you. However, if memory serves, this did not prevent a tragic suicide not long ago at Bob's.
Pro tip- don’t impress the new shooter with the awesome power of your 44 magnum. Start with a 22 or your first day will likely be the last day with the newbie. Welcome aboard
It's already been said but it's worth repeating , focus on the safety part first , before she ever fires a shot.
Then get ready to increase your ammo budget by a lot.
We don't leave the range till it's all gone with mine.

Well, the law does require direct supervision by a LTC holder. So what you are saying is that MFS complies with the law. I'm not a fan of their operation, but it sounds like they are doing this correctly.I don't know about other places in MA but MFS requires at least one person on the lane to have a license (any others on that lane are under that persons supervision).

I wasn't saying anything different, I was just responding to fencer's post that most don't require a license, and limiting my answer to only what I personally know.Well, the law does require direct supervision by a LTC holder.

Yeah, the muscles in your face from that shit-eating grin.Seriously, be careful, you can pull a muscle shooting those evil things.
Depending if your in western ma and when her birthday is but your welcome to come to my place...
I haven shot in awhile and in the next 2 weeks I plan on going shooting. I’ll probably be going full auto... but won’t if you think that’s to much for her first experience... I run a safe place. PM me
Did I say it did? Serious reading comprehension fail.The forum doesn't require green membership to reply to posts, or to start a topic, Einstein.
It's a very long story going back to his early days in business. I've posted about it before and ended up discussing it with him (some was online here and I think some was a phone conversation). When I first went public with my Mass Gun Law Seminar he hit me up immediately asking me for a copy of my slide deck (something that took me 6 months to put together and is always a work in progress . . . changing as things change). I knew that he intended to market my seminar as his and kill my business if I gave him the slides. It is my intellectual property and nobody gets the slides.May I ask, what it is about their operation that you are not a fan of?
Serious question as I respect your opinion and point of view.
