MSI is now an AGC club!

Maryland Shall Issue, inc. is proud to announce that it has formally joined the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore (AGC) as an Associated Club. Therefore, anyone who is a current member of MSI in good standing is eligible to purchase an AGC range badge upon completion of a range safety orientation. This is an important benefit for members as the AGC range is one of the finest shooting facilities on the East Coast. 

While MSI members may use their membership for badge renewal, we encourage our members who already belong to one of the many clubs that comprise the AGC to maintain that membership and continue supporting that club. AGC clubs are absolutely necessary to promote the growth of the shooting sports in Maryland and they deserve your support. We are honored and grateful to have been welcomed by the clubs at the AGC and are looking forward to working together to promote Marylanders’ rights and the responsibilities that come along with them.

About the AGC

The Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Inc. was formed on July 1, 1944 when a number of World War II veterans in the Baltimore, Maryland area began looking for a place for recreational and competitive shooting. They organized with several other Baltimore area shooting clubs to form the “AGC”.

The AGC range facility is located on sixty acres in northwest Baltimore County, at the junction of Marriottsville Road and Wards Chapel Road (see Directions).

The range offers all clubs’ members, their families and guests a safe, maintained, and clean location to enjoy the shooting sports year round.

The AGC offers a 50yd pistol range, 100yd rifle and pistol range, 200yd hi-power range, action shooting bays, trap shooting, and more.

How do I get a Range Badge?

To obtain a range badge as a MSI member, a person must attend a Range Safety Orientation and participate in a walk-through of the AGC Range facilitates (a 2-3 hour process) conducted by a Certified Club Instructor and agree to follow and obey AGC Range Rules. Members need only present an MSI membership card (printed e-mail receipt of your membership purchase or printout from your account page works too), participate in the AGC orientation course and pay the appropriate Range Badge Fee to the AGC.  Individual range badges cost $200 per year with additional family member badges costing $67 each. Junior and half-year badge options are also available, with half-year badges available for $100. There is no additional cost to our members.  Additional information about range badges can be found HERE and more information about the AGC can be found HERE.
