Gun Club Membership Size

[ESMDHokie77]

Curious if anyone has numbers on the largest gun clubs in Maryland?

Salisbury Gun Club on the Eastern Shore has over 660 members.

Berwyn R&GC has 550

I believe you have to establish individual membership. Affiliated clubs just get you access to AGC membership.

Affiliated club membership gats you access to AGC rangle badge. AGC has 2580 badge holders as of the end of June.

***After Bruen, I believe IWLA Damascus was closer to 1800-2000 and at it's membership cap. There was a time when they could only accept new members through attrition of membership through those that moved away, passed away, etc..

Our W&C classes and NRA classes were packed with many people wanting to join the club, etc.. One needs sponsorship to get in, and there is a vetting process. People have been turned away, sometimes because they had been kicked out of other IWLA chapters and there is some sort of reciprocity to keep folks that are doing things against our rules (usually commercial enterprises trying to run classes on our ranges with a few "friends" which is against our conduct rules as a 501c organization).

The IWLA-WAC chapter is just one chapter of several in our area. IWLA as a whole most likely has more members in MD than any other "club" I would imagine, but I do not know the exact numbers of other chapters - but even the smaller chapters seem to have at least several hundred members each.

I didn't realize it was quite that high, but I beleive it, and I do think there are a few people bringing one too many "friends" along with them. Some are worse about it than others..
