Oh I agree about the million reasons (and I can't help but crack up at the mental image of some sad sack going to the rental store: "So I need to knock up the liquor store, what do you have on the two hour special"). I was hoping there was some little loophole however, or some small store that practiced this sort of arrangement. I don't see a thread for the June class, so I think I'm going to start one.

This may seem like a silly question to some of the old-timers here, but does anyone know where I can rent a revolver in Austin? I'm taking the June 13-17 class, so I have to track one down for the qualifications. As strange as this might be to some people, I've actually only shot a revolver once in my life. I'm young enough to have always shot Glocks, and whatever else my friends have. My initial plan was just to borrow one from a friend, but I've been somewhat stunned to discover that none of them own one. After going through twenty people, I've found willing 1911s, Berrettas, XDs, M&Ps and more Keltecs and Glocks than I can count, but not a single revolver. Is there any store in Austin that will rent me a .38 for the day? I suppose I could just use this as an excuse to buy a .357 and qualify with .38, but the last time I asked a question on here I realized I needed a .22 so I'm trying to avoid the "ask a question, buy a gun" trap.
