The APL Gun Club, established in 1953, is one of the longest running clubs at the Applied Physics Laboratory. The APL Gun Club is dedicated to fire arms safety, training, sportsmanship and friendship. Hosting of shooting events at our affiliated gun range located in Marriottsville Maryland (Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore) takes place on a monthly, quarterly and yearly bases depending upon the shooting activity.
The APL GC maintains affiliations with the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore (AGC) and the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). The affiliation with the CMP has been ongoing with the APL GC since the inception of the club in the 1950’s. To learn more about this program you can visit the CMP web location.

APL GC membership dues are $15.00 yearly for active APL employees, retirees, resident contractors (RSE) and family members.
