Yep. AGC rules have changed substantially in the time I've been there, but at least they own the land and are looking to buy up properties upwind of the berms that might cause them issues in the future.
For smaller ranges that lease land or are closer housing developments, the risks are higher. Any infringement can trigger legal battles and we are definitely NOT in legally defensible 2A country here in the great Free State of MD.
Personally if I was asked to pee test to qualify at an awesome range closer to me, I'd do it. Hell I already have to get fingerprinted and licensed to buy one more handgun that I already have.

There’s no pee test for Stoney Creek just to clarify. It’s an “interview” with club investigators. I’m pretty sure they just make sure you’re and NRA member and that you’re not disqualified through case search.
Also, Stoney Creek requires Hunter Safety in addition to NRA membership. So many hours of volenteer work or you're charged the difference when it comes to dues time.

Correct. It’s $8.00 per hour for every hour you don’t get. But there’s always plenty of stuff you can do.
I've been watching this thread with interest. Been a member at AGC for several years and love the facility. Appreciate the RSOs paying attention to keep everybody safe, and never had a bad experience with them. But, it's an hour's drive to get there.
Considering AAFG, but it seems cost prohibitive considering the annual assessments in addition to the membership fee. Stony Creek seems like a good choice, too, and I'll be there on the 25th for the Hunter Safety class.
It would be nice to have a range closer to home.

AAFG annual assessment stops at the end of this year I believe.
Had to update. Very kind member here on MDS volunteered to sponsor me at AAFG. Thank you!

Meade Rifle And Pistol Club is $25 a year and gets you access to the ranges at Ft Meade. 8 pistol ranges and two rifle ranges, 300 and 600 yards. They are also an AGC affilated club so you get access there. Range time at Ft Meade is only one weekend a month and the club is met at the gate by an armed guard and must enter and leave as a group so very inflexible there. It works for me as that’s about all I have time for anyway.

I'd be interested in joining too. Is there anyone on here that is willing to give me a tour?

I used to belong to AGC but dropped my membership years ago. I have lived in Pasadena for 29 years and should have joined Stoney Creek when I moved here. Now that I would like to and even though I know a couple guys at church that could sponsor me, I work nights so I would not be able to make the meetings.
One question though. Would they accept my Hunter Safety card from 1971?

Great thread!
I need to join somewhere. Driving to Fairfax to shoot, is getting old.
Any noteworthy ranges close to Fulton?

I believe so, just make sure you have PROOF of having hunter safety. You can get a replacement card (I had too, funny thing though, it's dated 1900 lol. I wasn't even born then nor was my father).
As far as meetings go you will have to attend at least two. One to be presented to the club members, the second to be voted in. After that, unless you attend 6 meetings you are not allowed to vote in elections of officers and you need 12 meetings to be an officer.

Nobody talks about Baltimore County Fish and Game. I have someone who will sponsor me but it always seems like their waiting list is years long. Are there any members here with BCFG? Is it worth trying to get in line this June? Thanks in advance,

No , back that far, you Can't get a duplicate Hunter Safety Card .
The state only has records dating back to when HS became mandatory ( 1977 ) . The classes were around several years before , when they were recommended , but voluntary .
I'm in that situation . I took HS circa '73 , state has no accessible records, the sponsoring Club became defunct 20 some yrs ago .( I'm also Grandfathered by having had Hunting Lic before '77 .)
