    And when free people are subjected to such harassment , or have their rights otherwise violated , do you take their defense for 'free'?

    Talking to other club members. Perhaps membership committees or directors are simply full of shit are are just trying to scare prospective members away.

    I am a member of five gun clubs and have shot in matches at many others. None of these clubs did background checks.
    Would North Penn Gun and Drinking Club be one of them?

    And resorting to a pun to prevail adds nothing worthwhile to the discussion.
    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    I*m a director at my club. We*re a small operation, but have 50+applications on the waiting list. Part of our vetting process includes a question regarding the number of other clubs the applicant belongs to. It*s an automatic denial for us, (i.e., we don*t want individuals who belong to multiple clubs).

    Most of our scheduled group shoots, like trap, are open to the public... so no.

    We want members who are dedicated to and participate in our club not others. You see, that is the advantage of a waiting list... we can pick and choose the perfect members who we want.

    For example, we don*t admit fat/overweight individuals who we know won*t participate in work parties.

    Yes North Penn Gun Club is one of them. It's nearby and convenient to sight in a gun or try out a new load.

    What club would that be?

    What is the issue with members belonging to other clubs? I don't see the point in this position.
