Hello everybody,

AGC is a members-only range but allows guests to share a lane with a member. This means we will only have one lane for everyone (we have not been able to get a second badge yet), and guests must check in with a valid photo ID at the Barnes range house (the building in front of the 100-yard range) and each pay a $15 fee.
The range is located at 11518 Marriottsville Road, though the entrance is located just after turning onto Wards Chapel Road. See here for directions from UMBC.
We will make arrangements for carpooling from UMBC and leaving around 9:30-10:00 (exact time and place subject to change depending on attendee needs - fill out the form!). Anyone bringing firearms cannot legally come to campus and will have to make other arrangements. The range is open all day, so you can come later if you want.
Most importantly, make sure to review AGC's rules. The rules are divided into 4 categories, with C4 being the most severe. Most of these rules are common sense, but make sure you know them anyway.
The orientation presentation for new members can also be found here.
Some highlights:
If you bring a firearm, bring a chamber flag to go with it for ceasefires. AGC requires an empty chamber indicator for ALL uncased firearms.
Ceasefires are called at every half-hour. During which all firearms must be unloaded and everyone must step back from the firing line until the Range Safety Officer verifies the range is safe. No touching guns - not even to pack up.
Only one person will be allowed up to the firing line at a time (in addition to the badge holder), so it may be a good idea to come later in the day if you're not willing to wait around for a while.
Finally, remember to bring eye and ear protection and dress appropriately for the weather.
Thanks, we hope to see you there!
