    AGC Range Badge Dues Procedures

    Range Badges will be handled on an individual/club basis by Staff Range Safety Officers (RSO) or other AGC Officials. Badge requirements include proof of Club Membership (valid club membership ID card which includes the year shown on the Range Badge) and photo ID verification (driver’s license). Badges are normally available for club “batch sales” beginning in the 1st week of November of any year. Individual badge sales begin on December 1st. Badges are immediately valid when issued.

    Range Badges are Annual in nature and are issued for the calendar year beginning January 1st and ending December 31st of the year noted on the Badge.  This means that a Range Badge can be valid for up to a nominal 14 month period beginning in November and ending on December 31st of the year noted on the Badge.

    NOTE: The AGC does not issue membership cards. The club membership cards prove to the AGC that you are a member of one of the associated clubs that make up the "Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore".
    Your club’s membership cards must indicate the period for which the card is valid. For example: Year and/or Expiration Date as applicable. Undated membership cards are not sufficient to verify that you hold a current club membership in the same year for which the Range Badge is valid.

    First time range badge purchasers are also required to provide a range orientation certificate which is provided by the member’s club. Please do not expect the Range Safety Officer to give you the range orientation course; it is not the RSO’s duty to provide range orientations.

    Please Note: Range badge transactions will be conducted at the Barnes Range House, Upper Meeting Room during regular range operating hours.

    Badge Fees

    New members who join an affiliated club after July 1st are eligible to purchase a half year badge at ½ the cost of an annual badge. This provision applies in the first year only.
