Maryland Shall Issue has joined the AGC!
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.
Not an MSI member yet? Join here!
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 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 several World War II veterans in the Baltimore, Maryland area began looking for a place to shoot recreationally and competitively. 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 multipurpose 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 an MSI member, a person must attend a Range Safety Orientation and participate in a walk-through of the AGC Range facilitates (a 90-minute process) conducted by a Certified Club Instructor and agree to follow and obey AGC Range Rules.
The AGC offers orientations for $10. Sign up for one at joinagcrange.org.
Before coming to an orientation or visiting the AGC, it's a great idea to take the Range Rules Quiz.
After the walkthrough and to buy the badge, members will need:
- Proof of active MSI membership: The AGC will accept a printed or digital receipt of your membership or display showing your membership. You can do this from your account page, or by showing your MSI confirmation email.
- Government-issued photo-ID
- Form of payment (cash, credit card*, or check)
*If using an Apple Card, the AGC's staff must enter the card's virtual numbers manually.
