Should I Join the NRA?

[Steven]

Yes join.
Then call and opt out of any mail and/or phone calls you don't want. So easy a cave man can do it and faster than typing to complain on the interwebs if your are troubled by the junk mail and calls.

Some people enjoy getting that stuff ......some don't. Take control of your life, smile , be happy .

Good point! I forgot to add that advice, I opted out a few months back after years of cold calling.

Let my membership lapse, joined today.

Oh, and what's with the sweepstakes? Anyone every hearing of someone winning those?

 

[searpinski]

I feel like the organizations such as the NRA and NAGR are the only things stopping unwanted constitutional changes. So yes.

 

[phatgemi]

Like them or not, the bottom line is there isn't any organization which does as much for the 2A as the NRA. Glad I got in with the 300 dollar fee though a special via Glen Becks program. I believe it was during the Newtown time frame.

I believe you are correct.
I took that opportunity to sign up 3 nephews for Life memberships at $300 apiece.
Seeing how the oldest of the 3 was 8 years old at the time, that was a HUGE savings.

Spam is the downside.

Easy to block spam and unwanted snail mail

Spam is the downside.

From the NRA website FAQ's:

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.

The pure hatred and fear that I see spewed from leftists tell me all I need to know about the success of the NRA. All gun owners should belong.

[Fordtough25]

Yes, of course you should!

 

[Psode27]

Yes, you should join. Though they drive me nuts sometimes with the mail, its a worthy trade off. I do think since I got my lifetime it cut down a bit.

 

[BE Mike]

Join already and attend the annual meeting in Louisville in May. You can ask to be off their mailing list and after several weeks, the mailings will nearly stop.

 

[BeDome]

I allowed my membership to lapse about twenty years ago. After a while I missed the magazine and re-joined. They sent me a cool brass belt buckle.

It is still in plastic, might be worth something (to me) but who knows.

No downside in those days except for filling your mail box with slick paper.

 

[Defensive Shooting Concepts]

Every member of this forum should join the NRA period. Our 2nd Amendment rights are under attack.

LIFE MEMBER and well worth the money!!!!! I've enjoyed their recent commercials. "American Rifleman" for the last 15+ years has always been informative.

1500 for a lifetime membership seems high to me. That's 60 years. Im already 33. Might be worth the investment so you dont have to fiddle with renewing it every year. Maybe its just the 1500 price that scares me as a whole but anyway I joined for 2 years and will see how it goes.

Hello MegaTank, Yes 1500 seems high, but over 60 years the price of a one year membership will go up. But I think 1500 will seem cheap if a Government employee is at your front door to collect all your guns? A number of INGO members have giving you good advice here. They offer deals and payment plans. I got my Lifemembership at the Valpo Gun show on the payment plan. I have also worked my way up when they would offer a deal. And I just moved up to a Benefactor Member. I also got the Mrs a Life Membership.
Everyone on INGO should be a member. When I upgraded mine, I also signed up 5 friends and in the past have signed up a number and a couple of Life Members.

There are currently options available to do the Lifetime Membership for $750.

I agree with what you are saying, they are the largest force fighting for our gun rights. If it's gotten to where they are at my door taking my guns, the $1500 would have been a waste because my guns are gone!
