I've been to their website and read faqs, blah...etc. Could someone tell me in laymans terms, what it takes to be a member? |
1. Copy of your birth certificate 2. Membership in CMP affiliated organization, (I suggest the Garand Collector's Association, $25 a year). 3. Participation in a firearms-related activity, (I used my C&R license, but a CCW license, participation in a marksmanship program, etc. will also qualify. 4. Your first order must be notarized. The forms can be downloaded from the CMP site. |
Just to add a couple of things. You can use a US passport instead of a birth certificate. If you are in the military, reserves, or Guard, it counts for the organization and the marksmanship activity...kills two birds with one stone. Page 2 of the order form is the one that needs to be notarized for you first order, there is a box at the bottom for it. |
Yeah, I didn't feel like listing every organization or form you can use.  A state issued driver's license will not work, BTW. You have to have a document that proves citizenship, hence the birth certificate or passport. |

2. Membership in CMP affiliated organization, (I suggest the Garand Collector's Association, $25 a year). So, I just need to send $25 to this particular organization (Garand Collector's Association)? I don't have to show up somewhere and qualify with a firearm? I have all items mentioned except the above mentioned. |
No, there is no shooting requirement. Send your money, and they mail you a card w/ your member number, and you get a really cool magazine every quarter.

Not WRONG. The OP was asking about a shooting requirement to join GCA. I know the requirements. I used my C&R to get my CMP Garand. Read the whole thread.

I believe so, I know military counts, not positive about LE. If nothing else, there's a form you can download now, and just have signed by an LEO or a range officer that watched you shoot safely, that's what I did. ETA: just checked, "current or past law enforcement service" does indeed count. www.odcmp.com/Services/Rifles/eligibility_requirements.htm |
Thanks. I guess I'll do a little searching on their website to check for that form |
I theeenk I found it... |
Here it is: www.odcmp.com/Forms/marksmanship.pdf I edited my above post too, LE does meet the requirements. ETA: yes, you did. 
|
I'm not preaching to anyone, my friend. You called bullshit on my post, and I just clarified it for you.
