Santa Margarita Gun Club

DBIDS Credential Information

(Last updated 20 September 2020)

The Gun Club is now operational. Members in good standing and current status should go to the Las Pulgas Gate, Contractor’s Access Office,  anytime after September 23 during business hours to receive their new DBIDS passes.  These passes will be good until 15 December,  at which time their replacement will be a 1 year DBIDS access card.

In order to receive the 1 year access cards in December,  all Members will be REQUIRED to be current on Membership Dues.  Payment made and received before December 15 will ensure your addition to the DBIDS Access List.  Members who do not pay or don’t submit payment until after December 15,  will be scrubbed from the list and will not have access to DBIDS until there is a remedy,  AND the next list is submitted to Base (about every quarter);  NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.
