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.

You can read more about the AGC and its facilities HERE.

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. MSI offers these orientations at least once a month at no extra cost to its members. They can be signed up for at https://tinyurl.com/MSIAGCWalk. If no dates are available, email  for availability.

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.

    Additional information about range badges can be found HERE and more information about the AGC can be found HERE.

Novotny v. Moore - Challenge to 2023 SB 1

msilogo ladyjusticesm

5/16/2023

On behalf of our members and in partnership with the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition, Maryland Shall Issue and three individual plaintiffs are challenging unconstitutional aspects of SB 1, the so-called “Gun Safety Act of 2023” in the US District Court for the District of Maryland. SB 1 effectively nullifies the "general right to carry in public" for carry permit holders confirmed by the Supreme Court's decision NYSRPA v. Bruen just this last June. It does so by banning firearms in a whole host of locations otherwise open to the public, including places like stores and shops, restaurants, museums, and healthcare facilities. The suit also challenges the general ban on possession of firearms on public transit owned or controlled by the State Mass Transit Administration and in the tens of thousands of acres of woodlands in State parks, State forests, and State Chesapeake forest lands. We have every confidence that we will prevail in whole or in part in this suit.

Find the complaint in Novotny v. Moore HERE.
