Good job! And yes you will get junk mail and solicitations. Do what I do, just ignore it. When you can afford it or feel inclined, send in a donation or 2. Hey...they even have raffles for guns, $20 might get you a few new firearms. Of course, slim chance but hey its a chance!

Of course they want members to renew and make donations. They do good work and it's expensive. I renew ahead of time and make other donations. It's in my budget.
I also make donation to CalGuns Foundation .. everyone should.
Sign up and help out.
It's easy to opt out of paper mail just call them. I ask to only send it via email.Last edited by ElDub1950; 11-11-2015, 9:28 PM.Comment

Their "renewal notices" are one reason I ended up going to Lifetime.
I was getting renewal notices when I knew I was not up for renewal.
Then I noticed that I was no longer getting First Freedom... yup... my membership had expired.
Renewed... then the same thing... renewal notices every few months (when I had renewed for 2 or 3 years).
This went on for over 10 years before I got tired of it and just went Lifetime.- Rich

Join the NRA if you own a gun and want to keep it, don't give them a phone number- if you don't want to.
Standing offer to my pals- free six pack of beer if you sign up.
So far have signed up about 1/2 doz. guys.
I don't need their free stuff- just want them to continue to fight for the Constitution and continue to piss off the Bolshevik New Democrat Sumvitchs.
They are damn good at that- money well spent.

I think anyone joining the NRA for "gifts" is missing the point. I could not care less about them, reason I do not know if I received them in a timely manner or not. Though some of the ones I have gotten were made in China which does irk me which had me write an email please do not have Chinese made stuff as gifts. It's typically worthless.

To those implying I might have signed up for a duffel bag you obviously didn't read the thread properly. I opted out of the gift it's not what I wanted I was using it as an example I read someone else say I was just getting an idea of how the operate their business. Lol in not going to become a member for some bag I'll never use.Comment

My tip for the receiving emails thing is I have one "junk" email address that I only use when signing up for things, entering contests, etc. I cruise through it once in a while. My main email is what I actually use for business, friends, important things. I never gave NRA my phone number, so I never bothered by them. I am due to renew soon, I think I am going to upgrade to life. Makes sense, especially for the younger crowd.Comment

I need to start my own non-profit, non profit CEO's seem to on much better salaries than a lot of for profit CEO's. I also noticed that the non-profit offices and buildings ive been to in the past few years where much better equipped and a lot more fancy than most for-profit organizations.
Being a non profit has measure tax relief i guess.Comment

I opted out of the emails and still get something once in a while lol
doesn't really bother meComment

I am not going to judge LaPierre's salary. The man is being constantly demonized. Probably has to deal with death threats. That would not be enough money for me to deal with such toxicity. Besides, the NRA is not portraying itself as some religious, self sacrificing charity. It's a gun rights organization. And it has proven successful in over 40 states. Unfortunately, California is not one of them. Which is one of the explanations I give when they call me for more money. I say something like, "I live in California. Public lands to go shooting are hours away from where I live and worse, I cannot own a certain firearms like a true AR15 or have a CCW. I joined and give a bit to prevent a domino effect to other states but any more I give is not going to help me. Until you guys show me you are doing something here that is positive I cannot give today."
