Hey guys,
There is some good news that i wish to share with you all. My application to university of California, Los Angeles for the MS program has been accepted.
Wat i wish to know was, how do i continue to shoot once i move. I donot have a fire arms licence, so if i wish to shoot a firearm, at a range, am i eligible. Which are the ranges/clubs that i can join to continue to shoot.
Thanx
Regards
Parag

There are plenty of websites that can guide you thru.
wheretoshoot.org is one.
Or you can go to Google maps, enter the address you'll probably be living at or even the zip code. When the map is brought up, click the "Search Nearby" link and type "gun" or "shooting" and it will bring up the places in that area. The NRA website also has links to shooting ranges.
Also, depending on what you want to shoot, there are links on those organizations websites of places to shoot. I've never been to Commiefornia as they call it, but I'm sure I can help you find some place to shoot.
A humble advice, I suggest not to discuss shooting etc with members of the college, like course/admission advisors/counsellors etc. After you're here and get to know a few people and have your finger on their pulse then maybe you can discuss.

Re: Good news
Hi Archer,
Congrats on getting admission. When r u planning to come? is this your first visit to US? There are plenty of firearm ranges in and around LA and they do not require any gun licenses if u just want to rent and shoot there. They might require some identification documents like Govt. issues IDS( State ID or driving license). But as HSharief said and from some personal experience , u might spend first couple of months just adjusting yourself and doing all the paperwork. Setting down in a new country if you r visiting first time looks little tough in the beginning but then u get used to it once u know your surroundings.
Cheers
