I'm looking to become part of a gun club/range that I and my gf can go to and shoot casually. Most of the places I have come across are very over regulated and/or very expensive. I live in the Pasadena area so it would be nice to have someplace relatively close to go to. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Good gun ranges/clubs in MD

There are 32 clubs at the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore. I am sure you can find one that meets your needs in order to get the AGC range badge!
Ya I went to Stoney Creek Fishing & Hunting Club today since it was open to the public however it seemed very restrictive on what you could do and the fact that one of the members who showed me around (who was very nice) told me that even though I had been trough a federal firearms training program that I still needed a hunter safety course certificate and would take like 3 days of class to complete kind of turned me off. It is a very convenient location however it seems like the kind of shooting done there isn't as enjoyable to what I'm used to.

Check out www.associatedgunclubs.org. There are a bunch of clubs there and it is a nice range. I'm a member of Arlington and I've been a member of Monumental as well. Both are great options as well as several others.

I'm a member of Stoney Creek. From my experience it's been great so far. I've been there a few months. Just remember that since it's a private club where you need a sponsor to get it, they are pretty restrictive on certain things. This keeps the people who don't have any business shooting a gun out. As far as the hunter safety course I'm pretty sure it can be done online. And I also think it's part of the insurance agreement that everyone has it. It is 5 seconds between shots, but once you show you're proficient you can shoot rapid fire. Same with a pistol. So all in all there are some hoops to jump through but it makes the club better because everyone is safer IMO. But hey if it's not for you then I'm sure you can find something elsewhere.
Not quite in Pasadena but another option is Anne Arundel Fish & Game.
How did you find someone to sponsor you? I was looking at Stoney Creek, but I don't know anyone over there.

I work with someone that was a member before me. But I think the best way is go on a Tuesday afternoon. It's open to the public for trap. I'm sure if you do a member will sponsor you once they see you can handle a gun. I would do it but I haven't been there a year yet, and that's a requirement to sponsor someone.

Let me know when you wanna go. I have extra shotguns and I enjoy trap. I think it's 6 bucks for 25 birds and 7 bucks for a box of shells.
Awesome! I've only done trap once and that was a few years ago. I wasn't very good at it, but I'd love to get better.
