Joining the NRA

[Irish-Dannyboy]

I was about to subscribe to membership last night and most likely will today but I read some things that where a little off putting by some long time members recently.

They say when renewing or signing up the free gift doesn't come at first then you get mail asking for more money and if you really want the gift fill out the form and mail. Then some where saying even after doing a 2 year renewal they kept getting asked for more money and to renew membership just weeks into new membership?


Has anyone here had those kind of experiences?

[Oldmandan]

Yes, they are raising their membership fees in the near future. Get the lifetime membership if you want to lock in.

They will always ask for money, that's what their about, and what they do... That's how they pay for lawyers to defend our rights. They also have many fundraisers during the year. They're gonna hit you up on those too.

Who gives a crap about the free gift?

First. You don't sign up for the free gifts. 2nd they're always going to send you mail unless you opt out online or through the phone. Just ignore the mail sometimes its interesting most of it is junk.

Lastly just remember your sign up date and you Will know when to renew. It Will also Be on your membership card...l

Good luck

That's what I was thinking. The free gifts are kind of cheesy anyway. The real gift is that you're part of a movement that is taking a stand against gun grabbers nationwide. Consider your membership fee a donation to the cause. After that, proudly display your NRA sticker on your car or truck. Let the world know who the NRA really is -- just regular, responsible, everyday people like us who aren't afraid to stand up for our right to keep and bear arms in defense of ourselves, our families, and the people in our communities.

I am a member but don't want the hassle of them asking for more money. I just asked them to take me off their list and no more calls or hassles.

Echo that. The free gift is a cheesey hat that doesn't fit. I'd prefer that they save the money and use it to fight the anti's.

Yeah, I got some annoying phone calls to renew. Whatever.

[Irish-Dannyboy]

haha I don't care about the gift im just saying what others said.. Im signing up for the magazine.. JK!! Yea I want to do lifetime but I think Ill have to do a year first then renew to lifetime next year when the funds are a little better.. Hopefully the rates are not increased too much!

Just do it. There are sometimes little quirks, often misunderstandings but we see that in many areas of life.

Check out acegunnr's excellent thread, he keeps it up to date pretty well: $25 NRA Membership - FREE GIFTS AVAILABLE!

There are also opportunities for Life Membership at reduced rates and even monthly pay, see here: NRA: upgr. to Life, Endowment, Patron, Benefactor: $500;250;300;350

Rates are set to increase beginning of the year, FYI.

Q: How can I reduce the amount of mail I receive from the NRA?
A: Simply email us at membership@nrahq.org or dial 800-NRA-3888 and request to be placed on the "Do Not Promote" list. This will significantly reduce the amount of mail you receive without affecting important mailings, magazine service, or your membership renewal.

Thank you!

If a person owns a gun, they should join the NRA. They used to compromise way too much back in the day, but now they are proving themselves to be more and more a no compromise gun rights organization.

Be prpared

To be called weekly for money, have your email assaulted by them and your mail box filled weekly.

I joined and sent them a modest check every year. They spent more money on postage and late night phone calls to my home than I contributed. I respect their ideas, I despise their tactics and no longer contribute. 5

I went online and checked the "Do Not Promote" box like readysetgo said.

I get next to nothing extra now.
