Age requirement for shooting range
I'd like to go to targetmaster with my girlfriend. She is obviously not related to me and is under 21. Can she legally shoot a pistol there since I am not her guardian/parent and she is not yet 21?
I remember going with my Dad but I don't know where age comes into play and relation with all of this.Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.

Re: Age requirement for shooting range
18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6115
Loans on, or lending or giving firearms prohibited
(a) Offense defined.--No person shall make any loan secured by mortgage, deposit or pledge of a firearm, nor, except as provided in subsection (b), shall any person lend or give a firearm to another or otherwise deliver a firearm contrary to the provisions of this subchapter.
(b) Exception.--
(1) Subsection (a) shall not apply if any of the following apply:
(i) The person who receives the firearm is licensed to carry a firearm under section 6109 (relating to licenses).
(ii) The person who receives the firearm is exempt from licensing.
IANAL. I think she can because she would be excepted from the licensure under:
18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6115(b) (4) Any persons engaged in target shooting with a firearm, if such persons are at or are going to or from their places of assembly or target practice and if, while going to or from their places of assembly or target practice, the firearm is not loaded.

i think as long as she's not transporting or carrying them to the range, it should be alright to let her shoot them.

Re: Age requirement for shooting range
No license needed on the range. And age of possession for handguns is 18, not 21. Those under 18 require a parent, grandparent, guardian, or adult with expressed consent. Since you are going to be there too, there is no transfer/loan/borrowing happening.
So long as the range has no business problems with it, she is ok legally to shoot.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Age requirement for shooting range
does she have a drivers license?
i really do like target master (my father and I have known and bought from tommy for a loooong time), but i would call to make sure first
for instance i go with a friend and they only ask for my ID, then on the same trip i see two obviously new shooters and they require BOTH driver's license.... it can be hit or miss.
call and make sure, they won't bite.... much

Re: Age requirement for shooting range
Under 21 at Targetmaster cannot shoot a pistol unless it's yours. They do not rent or allow under 21 year olds to shoot their pistols.
