We're planning a holiday to the USA. In our country (UK) guns are strongly controlled so I wondered if we would be able to easily visit a range to have the experience of shooting and interacting with a gun, without huge amounts of paperwork.
Not that we are desperate to, but as tourists this is a big part of American life to try and understand a bit better and I'm sure it would be interesting simply to visit a gun store. I imagine this might vary wildly between states but as Brits could we just turn up someplace and pay for an introductory lesson?

While guns are strictly controlled, there are ranges in the UK as well where they will give you a gun to shoot. For eg. purdey.com/shooting-life/shooting-courses Also... if you were to visit a cannibalistic tribe would you join for dinner? Food for thought.

Just to comment on the "big part of American life" aspect, Americans vastly overestimate the number of gun owners. It's around 25%, more or less, but many of those who own guns own many many guns, and many gun owners are concentrated in certain parts of the country. In many major cities that are tourist destinations, owning guns is uncommon and not at all a big part of American life. In other areas, it's much more common.

Certainly in Hawaii they can. Indeed on Kalakaua Ave. in Honolulu there are plenty of people distributing flyers for gun ranges to Japanese tourists.
I do not know how to find such publicly accessible gun ranges in general, but in some touristy areas they are advertised openly.
