While this is an Activism post, I’m starting it here because more of you are likely to see it. We don’t need to start another NRA bashing thread, but we can do something positive to encourage change. While I used to ignore the board of directors ballot, I now believe it’s important for all of...

A significant data point on the subject of unethical behavior by WLP and NRA is found in the recent (2020) book by Tim Schmidt, founder of US Concealed Carry Association. The story begins in Chapter 11, The NRA Wanted Us to Disappear. Briefly, in 2016 a senior NRA assistant to WLP contacted...

I have recently read that the building is in bad shape. The roof is leaking, during the recent heavy rains, many rooms were damaged, water was even leaking into the vaults. How safe is the Museum now? America’s treasures, American heritage…I donated a gun to the museum years ago,, if it is...

I want to start my own range and be able to offer and instruct courses, especially concealed carry. All my research point to the NRA to become qualified. Is there any other channels to obtain a license to instruct other than through the NRA?

Many organizations have regular and Life membership levels. In their zeal to continue money flowing in NRA has not one, but four levels of Life Membership. This note is to lay out the levels and nominal costs so new NRA members are aware of the mailings they will get soliciting either renewal or...

In the past I have never voted for the NRA Board of Directors. I was too lazy to do the necessary research and there didn't seem to be much controversy involved. Apparently most members feel like I have and only 6-7% vote in most elections. Over the last couple of years I have become less...

I'm looking to get aquainted with long range shooting and F-Class appears to be a logical place to learn & compete. I live in NW Indiana, have 100 yd range close and 200 meter range an hour away. https://www.bassandbucks.com/ located in Wabash, Indiana (2 hours away) is on my list of places...

Despite the current internal shenanigans within the association, it's still critically important for all gun owners/supporters of the Second Amendment to be members of the NRA. I don't like the idea of sending the NRA a lot of money right now given what's going on, but I realize it's...

Since I don't work in the industry, I don't have an "in" to go to SHOT Show. Whether this is unfortunate or a blessing is debatable, but like most POTG, I've always wanted to attend. Much to my delight, I discovered the NRA Sponsored (I know, I know...) "Great American Outdoor Show" in...

Well, in about 2 years, I joined on the installment plan. It has always been a little difficult to cough up $500 in one payment but I discovered they have various installment plans. I joined one for $20 a month. I figure that even if I get laid off when my contract ends in 2 months I can...

The anti's are financing, supporting and organizing these student demonstrations. They will continue for the foreseeable future unless we can muster some countermeasures. ‘No Amendment Is Absolute’: D.C. Student School Walkout Organizer Says We Must ‘Regulate the Second Amendment’...

House Leaders on the Verge of Adopting Anti-Gun Agenda Dear Peter, I need you to take action right away. Here's the treachery that is occurring on Capitol Hill. Republicans are showing, once again, that they are the "stupid party" -- now that their leadership is pushing gun control as part...

NRA Statement: "Dallas, like every American city and community, is populated by NRA members. Our members work in fire stations and police departments. They save lives in local hospitals and own businesses in communities urban and rural throughout this country. No politician anywhere can tell the...

If you were to join one of those organizations, which one and why/why not? If there are other worthy organizations, please post them here and preferably something describing how they work and what their purpose is. Thanks!

While reviewing the High Road Forum Rules and Regs, I came upon this statement. "Share what you know, learn what you don't." How many of us stick by this in the Forum atmosphere or at the range? Do we have a teachable mentality or one that puts pride first which usually prevents us from moving...

Heads up to those in that state: Oregon SB 941. The NRA has details here.

Mandatory NRA Gun Classes in Schools - SC lawmaker proposes South Carolina Rep. Alan Clemmons proposes that students would learn about gun safety, gun rights, the Second Amendment and the Constitution. It would be a three week course and a companion bill would attendance at shooting ranges...
