Where to shoot?

davisnader · Nov 27, 2019

Hey new to the forum and new ish to Maryland.

I am originally from Arizona and I was always able to just go out to the forest to shoot as long as you weren't being stupid you wouldn't get in trouble.

Is there any where in or near Maryland that I can do this. I have always had bad experiences at ranges and no not because I'm stupid. It's other people I have seen too many people have lousy muzzle control and making stupid mistakes.

Not really, you either need private land suitable for shooting on or a range.

davisnader · Nov 27, 2019

Wonderful. Time to look at the list of shooting ranges...

Where you are located will help determine recommendations. Many members here belong to Associated Gun Clubs (AGC). You would join one of the associated clubs which would then allow you to purchase a range badge to use AGC facilities. https://associatedgunclubs.org/

Welcome to MD, I guess. I would have stayed in AZ, LOL. My brother and his family live there, in Scottsdale. I visited him when he lived in Chandler , and his bachelor party was in Scottsdale. Very nice area.

Where in MD do you live now? That would help narrow down areas to point you to.

davisnader · Nov 27, 2019

I live in Glen Burnie now and trust me if I could stay in AZ I would.

This is Merry-Land & you need written permission from the property owner to shoot any where...

This State Law was passed in the late 60's or early 70's...

Rifles? If yes, join associated gun clubs (AGC)
If pistols only, there are indoor ranges near GB.

You're a funny guy. Used to go with my buddy out in the desert (Phoenix) anywhere
(within reason ) and camp or shoot 'em up.

Outta luck, here, pal. Can't even camp in UN-designated areas, ie. no camping at random on state land.
SHOOTING? You are dreaming. Can't target shoot - PERIOD on state lands.

It sucks. Gotta go to a range.
Buy hey, you make more money in this job than another, right?

You were so close to the correct information. :sad20:

This is my biggest obstacle in convincing my wife to leave...
Special educator, Master's in Special Ed +30, 7 Praxis certs and 14 years on the job. That combo makes for a pretty decent teacher's salary in Marylandistan. Other states can't come close.

That's why the latest education commission came up with the 4.2 Billion money grab for the poor uneducated waifs in Bloodymore. :innocent0

12th Precinct Pistol and Archery Range in Harwood MD (private range with reasonable membership fee) is outstanding. Very nice facilities. Only drawback is no high-powered rifles or shotguns.

Would like some more information about this club please. Looking at the application, do you need to be recommended by a member? Feel free to PM me.

AGC for long guns, indoor Cindy’s hot shots it’s a new place pretty nice there, good people. I’m in Glenburnie also. On Target is an indoor over by Ft Meade it’s alright ,renters make me nervous. But join a range or find a friend with private property . Welcome to Maryland .

So they found Milk Dud's rainy day fund?

Mwzephi · Dec 22, 2019

Stoney Creek Gun Club is pretty close. I am actually looking to become a member because they have a number of range options. You need to be a current NRA member and take the hunters safety course. I don’t know much but their web page tells you the rules, regs and cost.
