I think that's how you do it, but call them and ask. They'll be happy to hear from you.
The other membership levels are how they get more money out the Life Members. First you pay for the Life Membership, then you find out how easy it is to keep sending them money. And I got a really spiffy pocket knife.
This is part of THR member's profile. This attitude is exactly why the vast majority of THR members should join the NRA.
What I do for the RKBA and other civil liberties:
I take responsibility for defending my own rights. I don't expect, or need the NRA to do it for me.
First thing that bothered me is the quest to get to use the Whittington Center for the THR 2007 gathering, that the low number of THR members that are NRA members.
Second is that some people must really not understand United We Stand or Divided We Fall.
Skip a couple cases of beer, a weekend of shooting, or that night out on the town. Pony up folks!
Glad to see so many are on board! I want to thank P0832177 for alerting me to the NRA EZ plan. I've been a member for about 10 years now, but never ponied up for more than 3 years at a time.
I know others mentioned GOA and JPFO. More good ones!
What I'd also suggest is getting involved with your state reps and tell them why. Volunteer for their campaign and contribute to their campaign. I tell my rep I am a one issue voter (mostly true!) and because he co-sponsored our carry bill I am on board with his campaign.
I've been a life member of the NRA a long time - I voted at Cincinatti - and a Patron member today but I think membership in a local club and supporting a state association is at least as important - maybe more important.
I hear complaints from folks who refuse to support the NRA because the NRA won't fight their local battles for them.
Who is GOA? I will look it up later after I eat and get back from the local shop tonight, I would like a brief on them by some of your oppinions. State association, BRILLIANT! Why didn't I join them before? Guess I was thinking more nationally. Oh well, will fix after I join JPFO next month.
P.S. Bought a Mossberg Prusuader tonight and a GP100. YAY!
Can't pick em up till Sat! BOO!
Been a member for over 20 years and just renewed for 5 more. I have a hard time signing up for life. Organizations tend to change over time and I can't say whether or not I'll want to support them 20 years from now or even give them the opportunity to count me as a member if they somehow move away from the single issue focus.
You have to specify a donation to the ILA branch of the NRA if thats what you want it used for.
As far as the educatuonal branch, most money comes from instructor and student fees, as well as the "Friends of the NRA" branch. For instance:
2 years ago a local boy scout camp was damaged by a forest fire. Pretty bad damage to the rifle range. The Friends of the NRA donated 5,000 to range restoration.
The 'sign up to be a member' does not seem to allow one to specify that their funds go to the ILA rather than the educational section of the NRA. https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/signup.asp
So it seems that all those membership fees goes to hunting and education programs, NOT to fighting anti-gun legislation.
They need to change that before I'd be willing to sign up. Fighting anti-gun legislation should be the defaul (or at least an option), education and hunting stuff should not be the default.
"They need to change that before I'd be willing to sign up."
Signing up = dues
Federal law does not allow dues to be used for political purposes such as lobbying and cash donations to politicians. That's why they had to create the NRA-ILA and NRA-PVF.
There are too many blooming campaign finance laws. I had to start with the founding of the NRA-ILA in 1975 and work backwards. (The NRA-Political Victory Fund is the NRA's Political Action Committee/PAC)
The Federal Elections Campaign Act was passed in 1971 and then amended in 1974.
A Brief History of Federal Campaign laws - through 1979 or so.
"Attorney Ralph Sherman, chairman of Connecticut's pro-gun "Gunsafe" group acknowledged that the search and seizure provision, which he opposes, did result from a compromise on the total gun bill the NRA supported. The Connecticut legislature is not very "pro-gun," he said, but is divided on the issue. The state would have ended up with an even worse bill had gun rights advocates not compromised, he said. The huge Firearms Safety Act had 20 provisions attached to it, some of which were positive for gun owners, he said." - Found with Google on worldnetdaily
Any idea what the gun laws there would be like if this bill had not passed? This attorney from Gunsafe says the proposal would have been worse than the total bill - yes, including the 20 provisions tacked on it - the NRA supported.
