  • Community: We value social connections that exist within the 2nd Amendment and Black communities and recognize the importance these connections have in influencing systems, resolving societal issues, and creating a more perfect union.
  • Firearm ownership: We affirm and vigorously protect the right of Black Americans to bear arms for self and community defense, sportsmanship, and all other lawful and morally justifiable activities.

Membership shall not be denied to any person because of race, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability of the person.

Member must be eligible for or have a current/valid CPL or equivalent from reciprocating states.

Any person who has a felony conviction or who has a misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence (and the conviction has not been pardoned or expunged AND rights to possess a firearm restored), is not eligible to become a member of the Association or the Club. Under federal law, that person is not legally allowed to possess a firearm and therefore is prohibited from joining the Association or the Club.

Club members may NOT engage in activities that OVERTLY promote violence toward any members or the public.

Club members may NOT engage in any form of harassment or discrimination based on race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical disability toward any members or the public.

Club members may NOT engage in alcohol consumption before or during a NAAGA or Club meeting or shooting event.

Club members may NOT engage in verbal discussions or statements advocating any acts of violence toward Police, Military, and/or Government officials.

Club members may NOT engage in verbal discussions or statements advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government.


Violations of this Ethical Code of Conduct will not be tolerated and will be grounds for immediate termination of the violating member from the Club and/or Association. I certify that I have read and understood the Member Eligibility and Ethical Code of Conduct, and that I will adhere to the Ethical Code of Conduct. Finally, I certify that I am permitted to possess a firearm in accordance with federal laws and the laws of the state in which I reside.



Your application will be reviewed before an approval determination is made. Someone may contact you about membership prior to approval. Application to Black Bottom Gun Club is NOT a guarantee of membership.
