Membership

Welcome to the Northern Colorado Rod & Gun Club. The maximum number of Club memberships is 800 households as determined by Larimer County and we are currently at maximum capacity. Our members renew in July and we normally have over 100 openings in August so there is plenty of room for new members. Similar to concert tickets, our membership spots are offered on a first-come basis until all open slots are filled. Open enrollment for the 2021-2022 membership year begins on August 5th at 7 pm so you will want to come back to this webpage on that day and time and complete your application and payment. If you would like to sign up for our email updates, please see the link below. We will send out a reminder notice for prospective members to join. In the meantime, we encourage you to participate in our public shooting events. The Club calendar has all the specifics and we offer shotgun, pistol and rifle events. Weather permitting, there is something going on almost every weekend. The Club has a lot to offer and the wait is worth it. Thank you for your interest in the Club. If you have additional questions, please email our Member Services Coordinator at membership@ncrgc.org. 

Sincerely,

NCRGC Board of Directors

The Club offers one type of membership--a Household membership is offered to:

1. Adult 18 years of age or older who can legally possess a firearm,

3. Any children under 18 years of age and residing in the household.

In Colorado, a spouse includes the following (reference the Colorado Division of Human Resources):  

1. Current Spouse, including Common Law Spouse. Spouse means a spouse as recognized under federal tax law. Common Law Spouse means an adult, who is at least 18 years of age; and with whom the member cohabitates; and who represent themselves to the community as married to each other; and there is no legal impediment to the marriage.
2. Current Domestic Partner who is an adult, who is at least 18 years of age; and who is of the same gender as the employee; and with whom the member has shared an exclusive, committed relationship with that same person for at least one year prior to enrollment with the intent for the relationship to last indefinitely; and who is not related to the member by blood to a degree that would prohibit marriage; and neither the member nor partner is married to another person; and neither the member nor partner is in a civil union with another person.
3. Current partner in a civil union means an adult, regardless of the gender of either party, at least 18 years of age who is not a partner in another civil union; who is not married to another person; who is not under guardianship, unless the partner under guardianship has the written consent of his or her guardian; and neither partner is a relative of the other whether the relationship is by the half or the whole blood.

These definitions are subject to change and you should consult Federal and Colorado law for more information.
