Range permits required?

[boatme99]

Does Md. require a permit to use state ranges? Private?
If so, how would an out of stater obtain one for a single days use?
Inquiring minds, you know.

Residency isn't an issue.

Show up, pay up, start shooting.

The Public Range in N.E. is $10 a day or $50 a year for a Permit. $25 if you are over 62. Have Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun and Archery.
Very nice place, I my opinion very well worth the small fee to help with upkeep.

I feel safe taking the Wife and Kids there, most everyone follows the safety rules without a Range Officer breathing down your neck although you still get the occasional cowboy.

Some private ranges require membership. Where are you thinking of shooting?

In Western Maryland, the DNR charges $5.00 per day per person(the ranges I know of), $25.00 for a year. Only thing required is to go the the DNR office nearest the range and pay your money.

I've used the range at Green Ridge State Forest a couple of times. It's very simple. While we're registering for our campsite at the visitor's center, we also mention that we want to use their range, and I think it's something like $5 per person for a one day permit. They even sell targets there for $0.25 each. And all of the state employees there are really nice. It doesn't matter what state you're from, you just have to pay up.

New England is a bit far of a drive just to go shooting isn't it? It is also very broad in location.... I mean just look at the size of the territory you're looking at. Or did you add an extra period there and really mean Nebraska, in which case that's an even longer drive. More than I'd be willing to make just to use a range. Now hunting that's a different story but range use... nah...

It will only cost you a $125.00 fine if you don't have the required range permit and they will also give you a nice little ticket that states you were "Trespassing On State Owned Property".

North East is a direction!!

 

[Biggfoot44]

Most private clubs require membership, or be a guest of member.
Privately owned, open to the public ranges, walk in , pay posted hourly rate.

You can argue the issue until your last Earthly breath and you will not win this argument with DNR

 

[Dead Eye]

Yes, it is. The Town is so named, because if you come all the way up the Chesapeake Bay, by boat, and turn Northeast, at Turkey Point, you go up the Northeast River, into the Town of Northeast, MD.

 

[bulletbill]

Hmmm the way I was tought to read directions NE was North East, SW was South west etc. N.E. was always New England. But hey I aint from here man I'm from like Pittsburg man.

Well North East is north and slightly east of Centerville.

For Myrtle Grove public DNR range you have to have your permit before you go. You cannot by a permit there. I assume that is the MD standard, but I have not checked. IMHO MG beats the pants off the $600 per first year membership of the local private club.

If you have a printer you can buy the permit online from out of state. Very simple process.

 

[organized_mayhem]

When my uncle was in the Army during Vietnam he would tell people he was from North East. Their reply was always "North East of what?"

Technically, you are correct. Taken in context, however, and being from the area, some of us fellow Ceciltuckians knew what he meant.

As did those of us in Hazzard County.

I originally from North of the Mason-Dixon Line and I knew.


(I used to drive to Philly 50-100 times a year, while living here, and saw the signs. )
