MONTICELLO ROD & GUN CLUB MEMBERSHIP

Please follow this link to our waitlist page and fill out the online form to be added to the waitlist.

2026 Membership Update

There are currently 175 names on the waitlist and a 2-3 year wait for new members. To give you an idea of the wait time for membership, this year’s new membership brought us to the 2024 waitlist.

We ARE COMING TO THE END OF ANOTHER YEAR. THIS MEANS RENEWAL PACKETS ARE BEING PREPARED AND WILL BE SENT OUT AFTER OUR ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY.

REMEMBER TO CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE ON YOUR FIREARMS PERMITS. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET THEM RENEWED – DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!

We WILL BE CHANGING THE CODE FOR THE MEMBER’S ONLY PORTAL IN APRIL AFTER WE FINISH THE RENEWAL PROCESS. I WILL EMAIL THE NEW CODE TO EVERYONE ONCE IT GETS CHANGED.

NEED TO RENEW YOUR FIREARMS PERMIT?

We have added a page to our website (Permit to Carry Instructors) with the names and contact information of MRGC members that also teach Minnesota Carry Permit classes. You can contact them for information on fees and available classes. MRGC does not endorse nor sponsor instructors or classes.

NOTICE: Membership in the Monticello Rod and Gun Club Inc. is granted on an annual basis. Membership starts April 1st and ends March 31st of each year. Purchase/Carry Permits must be valid at time of membership renewal or your application will be denied. 

Here are some links to help explain the membership level requirements and the application/renewal process.

2026-2027 Membership Requirements

1. Since the MRGC does not do background checks on members, we rely on Purchase/Carry Permits to ensure that this has been done, therefore: ALL MEMBERS must present a valid Permit to Purchase, Permit to Carry, OR a Minnesota state approved background check in order to renew or open a membership in the Monticello Rod and Gun Club. Active MILITARY or LAW ENFORCEMENT may present a valid Military/LEO ID. Membership will not be granted or renewed without this. Permits must be valid at time of renewal/application. State background checks must be within 30 days of application.
2. New members are required to attend at least one Member’s meeting by the end of December of their Probationary year. Any Probationary Member that does not attend a meeting by the end of December WILL NOT BE SENT A RENEWAL PACKET IN JANUARY, and will not be allowed to become a Shooting Member.
3. If ANY MEMBER fails to renew their membership, THEY WILL LOSE THEIR MEMBERSHIP! If they wish to rejoin the MRGC after this, they will be required to re-apply as a new member. This means you would need to place your name on the waitlist, wait until you move up the list, and start back as a Probationary Member. Membership renewals are in March each year and packets are mailed out far enough in advance that there is no reason to be unprepared
4. As we are using the mail-in process for membership renewals now, it is important that we have current contact information for members. We can’t mail renewal packets to you if we do not have your correct, up to date information. It is YOUR responsibility as a member to notify the Membership Coordinator if your contact information changes.

Thank you again to everyone for your continuing support of the Monticello Rod and Gun Club. If you have any questions on membership, please contact Mike Taylor at: mrgc.memberships@gmail.com
