Dear Members,

At our recent membership meeting, the club voted to add two small, dedicated fees to our membership dues. Beginning this year, all members—both Annual and Life Members—will see the following additions:

  • $5 Environmental Fee
  • $5 Legal Fee

These funds will be restricted for their stated purposes only and will be deposited into separate bank accounts designated specifically for environmental and legal needs.

Why the change?
Shooting ranges are facing evolving environmental and legal requirements. Establishing these dedicated reserves ensures the club is protected from unexpected costs that could arise in the future. This proactive step strengthens our financial stability and helps safeguard the long-term future of the gun club.

We believe these fees are a wise investment in protecting the club, ensuring we remain in compliance, well-prepared, and able to continue offering a safe and enjoyable gun club for all members.

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to MLGC.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Sincerely,

Jim Owen
MLGC President

The Mother Lode Gun Club is open to membership to United States citizens who:

Membership/Renewal Forms

Membership Information/Renewal

The club has a self-imposed membership limit of 850 members. We are currently at maximum capacity and have a waiting list for new members. If you want to be placed on our waiting list, submit a completed application, without payment, to MLGC. A co-signature from a current club member, in good standing, is required. New members are required to attend a monthly meeting to be voted into the MLGC. You will be contacted when your name comes up for a reporting date and you will have 24 hours to respond, if a message was left. All prospective members are required to report and will be given the opportunity to pass on the first two (2) reporting dates offered. Failure to report on the third offered date will result in being removed from the waiting list. Once your name is on the list, we can give you a better idea of how long it will be before you will be able to join the club.
