I don't know of any range that will let you shoot an air gun? You could just get a regular gun.

but with a regular gun... arent the law's more strict about carrying it (mainly to the range) etc... Also what if a real gun gets stolen? Just seemed easier to have a powerful airgun for "security" and some range time.. however it seems like i might have to first check if there is a range around that will allow using an airgun..

The MD folks would have to chime in on transportation laws but you should be fine taking a real pistol to-from the range. If you are worried about it being stolen you could always lock it in a storage safe in your house. Otherwise if it's stolen you just need to report it to the police.

Laws are not so bad on transportation... It doesn't even have to be locked.

As long as you are going to or from a gun store, a range, or a gunsmith/repair, you can transport it.

Vehicle must not be unattented during this time.... ie Don't stop at iHop on your way to the range.

It has to be in the trunk basically, out of easy reach.

And "separated" from the ammo, ie no loaded mags in the gun or stored "with" the gun.

Although you can transport mags loaded (just not in the gun), some ranges (Continental Arms) will tell you that you can't.
They won't even let you enter range with loaded mags.

My understanding of the term "separated" means you can have the gun inside a range bag, and even have the ammo on a pouch/pocket on the "outside" of the range bag.. That counts as separated.

As for an Airgun.. not sure what you mean by "security".. If you mean "home defense".. forget it.. you might as well hand over the airgun, and allow the criminal to beat you to death with it.

If anything get a .22 rifle, which you can use at any range, and also do small hunting with.

A "powerful" air gun will probably do nothing but irritate an intruder, or scare him since he might not be able to tell what it is until you fire it. But you can guarantee if you DO have to fire and he finds out, your a$$ will get beat...

You can just see dirty Harry right now exclaiming that this here is the most powerful airgun in the world.. Go ahead make my day...

An airgun is fine for learning the fundamentals of marksmanship, but unless you want it shoved up your I would not shoot an intruder with it..

Get one of us to take you to On Target or whatever range is closest and start you out right with something that won't intimidate you.... I think Steve and Darren have a bunch of euro pellet launchers...

Seriously owning a gun is a Right. If you don't exercise it you will loose it. It's not a big deal to own one in The People's Republic do Maryland... Darren already covered the transport issues and for the most part that is it...
