Really starting to look like my holding off on buying a range badge might hold true for all of 2020; and possibly forever.
Why is that? Because the AGC is going to follow the governors executive order?

Official word as of today anyway, no more than 50 people allowed on any one range at one time. The Shooting Bays are considered a range and so we will have to abide by it. Should be good for IDPA as it is limited to 36. We will decide on Steel Challenge/Three gun as those matches get closer

The outdoor Barnes range only holding 50 people at a time is not part of Hogan's decree and makes no sense whatsoever. Hell, MTA buses are still up and running.
Governor Hogan has ordered that only essential businesses stay open during this time and we believe that the services we provide are essential. We will be remaining open in accordance with the presented limitations to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Since opening, we have always used disinfecting wipes to thoroughly clean all rented ear protection and eye protection. We are asking that if you have your own, to please bring and use your own to reduce the chance of spreading anything. We will also have ear and eye protection for sale - providing well-made long term options as well as inexpensive disposable options.
We will be limiting the amount of customers in the facility and reducing our staffing accordingly, so please be patient if this results in extended waiting times for any services.
Stay connected to our facebook and Instagram for any changes. We will be updating as changes occur. We will be posting our hours daily.
Let me clarify my stance...
I fully understand, and agree with, postponing action shooting. I feel the indoor pellet range should be completely closed as well. Limiting people at: the buildings, trap, pistol and 200yd also makes perfect sense. Limiting the Barnes range to 50 people is overkill, as it is a lot of square footage and would be covered under "I" in Hogan's declaration- meaning 250 people.

ETA- I didn't read this file: https://www.mdshooters.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=280070&d=1584451787
I take back my previous statements and plead ignorance. I apologize for being an ass.
He is closing all shopping malls and entertainment venues across Maryland, effective at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 19. Gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited.
This will shut down AGC so all of the above back and forth is now irrelevant

Hard to say. Most days during the week there are not 10 people there on the Barnes range. The issue really is the safety of the RSOs
During the week maybe but with the panic buying and people at home, more will want to go to the range. You really think AGC is going to want to monitor if there’s 10 or more people at any given range? It will be easier for them to shut down. I hope I’m wrong

Seems like the club could make some money renting out individual action bays to individual instructors/ROs, with normal guest fees/administrative hurdles as loose as possible, to instruct new gun owners in the basics, in very small groups or 1-on-1. Lots of noobs out there. Reach out to the LGSes and pitch it as a well-oiled Noob Center. It's outdoors, sunny - perfect for keeping everybody comfortable.
