they somewhat recently got electronic target retrieval systems on the rifle/pistol range, so no hot/cold ranges to change targets (the RO's won't hesitate to quote the $100K price tag). Not sure how long it's been since you've been there but they got rid of the sporting clays years ago.
Who cares how much they spent. i like my woods in the back of Elk Neck State Park :D
If only we could carry a gun to elk neck

I stopped going to Ommelanden since I can't get my rifle brass back.

I never let mine fly, but I have that option with a bolt action. Semi-auto you can't help it

AR's can use a brass catcher, along with some others, but semi's that eject the brass forward there's really no good option.

Correct, unless you have a MD permit, you cannot carry in MD on the way there, and even if you have a permit, the forest does not allow handguns to be carried, concealed or otherwise. http://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/cen ... e_regs.pdf check rules 1 and 21.

You first said "to" Elk Neck, which you must do if you're going to use the range there, of course.

But, don't bother taking your holster there because no, you can't "carry" CC or OC "in Maryland or around the range".

To get your guns to the range you need to "transport" (not carry) them to the range in your trunk, separate from the ammo. I go from DE directly to the range, and then directly back to DE to stay legal. No stops and no money spent in MD.
18 USC § 926A - Interstate transportation of firearms:

"Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console."

The only time you can carry your pistol is during a bona fide pistol competition.
