Time is running out for PSC-supported candidates to gather enough NRA Board Election Petitions to get on the 2026 Ballot. This is critical folks if you haven't already signed Danny's and Eb's online petition, please do so now!! The original email that went out earlier is copied below.

Dear Fellow PSC Member:
Changes have been made to the nomination process for NRA Board Member candidates. While candidates have always been able to be nominated by the NRA Nominating Committee and/or by member petition, the petition process is now available online. While the online process is certainly easier than circulating paper petitions for in-person signatures, it also makes it easier for unqualified people, even Bloomberg-supported anti-2A folks, to get on the NRA Board of Directors ballot.

One of the most frequently heard comments when handing out new "smart" Club Badges was, "Great! Now we don't have to stop and sign in before we go to a range." Unfortunatly, a number of Members are not scanning their badge when they enter because they follow another Member who opened the gate. The article "How the New Badge System Works" addressed this issue, since it was another commenly asked question. The answer to the question about following another car through the gate is simple, "Yes, but stop long enough to “flash” your badge. This logs you into the system. You don’t have to wait until the gate closes and reopen it." It 's not sufficient to scan your badge at one of the range-specific readers. You must scan your badge at the gate to enter. Again, you don't have to wait for the gate to close. Just stop long enough to hold your badge next to the reader and see the "white circle" indicating your scan is complete.
Scanning in is NOT optional and this is not a minor issue. For insurance purposes, the Club needs to have a record of people using Club facilities. If this continues, we may have to return to using the sign-in booth. None of us wants to do that, so let's work together to prevent a step backwards.
Respectfully,
PSC Board of Directors
In view of the ongoing issue with some SIG P320 handguns, the Board has made the decision to temporarily ban SIG P320 handguns from Club property. The PSC Shooting Club, Inc. does not have an opinion as to whether the SIG P320 is a defective product. We simply do not have the expertise. This decision is based upon the information available at this time. This temporary ban will be lifted if/when this issue has been resolved and safety of the P320 has been established.
This decision was not made lightly. The safety of our Members, their families and guests is paramount.
If you aren’t getting PSC emails, then you are in good company – many Members don’t get some or all Club emails. This has been a growing problem for several years and it is getting exponentially worse. Unfortunately, there’s nothing that we’ve been able to do to alleviate the problem for Members and even Board Members. That said, below are some suggestions that may help.
- Verify that your email address on PSCmembers.com is correct. If not, change it but this does not automatically change it in https://PSCshootingClub.com. That requires a manual upload that occurs about once a month.
- If possible, add this to your email “white list:” *@PSCshootingClub.com. This should let Club email get past your spam filter. While you can mark Club email as “not junk” at the email client level (ex. Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) white lists are located at the server level. You will have access at that level if you own your own domain name and have your own web host. If you don’t, ask your Internet Service Provider’s (“ISP”) technical support folks if they will do it for you. Some will, some won’t.
- Check the server-level spam folder, if you have access to it.
- List *@PSCshootingClub.com as a trusted email source with your anti-virus/malware service such as Norton, AVG, etc.
The distribution of the new permanent Club Badges is going very well. Over 2,000 Club Members have picked up their badge and there are four more days scheduled for folks to pick up their badge. These days are Saturday, July 19th from 9AM to 1PM as well as Tuesdays July 8, 22 and 29 from 6PM to 8PM.
Several Members have asked how the new Badge system is going to work. This article will cover all of the questions we have heard as of this writing.
How Do I Enter the Main Gate?
A new card reader has been installed at the main gate. It is temporarily mounted to the panel that houses the old keypad. At some point, the old panel will be removed and a taller keypad mount will be installed. Some folks driving taller trucks have quite a stretch to reach the card reader.
To enter the Club, just hold your “smart card” Badge close to the card reader. The gate will open a few seconds later. Although the new card reader also has a keypad, the Badge alone will open the gate. Members won’t be using the keypad. (More on the new keypad later in this article.)
Can I Still Follow Someone Through the Gate?
Yes, but stop long enough to “flash” your badge. This logs you into the system. You don’t have to wait until the gate closes and reopen it.
