Article IV
All members must always adhere strictly to the four cardinal rules of firearm safety. The Sergeant at Arms holds unquestionable authority on the firing line; failure to follow range commands results in immediate removal.
Members wear the name of Christ and the Club. Drunkenness, illicit drug use, unprovoked violence, or behavior bringing disrepute to the Christian faith or the Club will result in immediate disciplinary review.
Members are expected to defend, support, and pray for one another, operating as a cohesive unit in both spiritual warfare and physical training.
Article V
Any member found violating the membership eligibility requirements post-admission (e.g., committing a felony or domestic violence offense) will be immediately stripped of their rank and expelled. Minor infractions regarding Club protocol or safety will be handled by the Sergeant at Arms and may result in suspension, remedial training, or expulsion by a majority vote of the leadership.
