NRA Life Memberships - Thanks T-Dog

Thanks for handling that life member arrangement. Good deal all the way around.

For you who look for little things to criticze the NRA over, wake up!! The Giffords thing is going to make the scenery very very unpleasant for us over the next few years. If you can't get off your tail and join at whatever level, than you are part of the problem.
 
If anyone can provide me with their lifetime membership or higher sponsor ID I can just do this myself and there doesn't need to be any additional administration headaches around it. I called the NRA lifetime membership line this morning and verified that all I need is the sponsor ID. Then I can provide my info and payment directly. I'm not sure why they just wouldn't take my money without a sponsor ID because it's not like they don't need the money and numbers to help the cause. In any case I'm in as soon as I get a sponsor. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to do that.

How long does it take to get your first magazine in the mail?

I got my first membership packet (name misspelled) on 1/16 and a corrected one on 1/24. I received my American Rifleman last Friday, 2/18, if that helps - so about a month? It may depend on what time of the month they process your membership relative to when the magazines ship out each month.
 
I'm looking for NRA life member sponsor also, please PM if you can help me out.
 
Please sponsor me for an nra lifetime membership

Please sponsor me for a NRA lifetime member ship.

I am 27, just got my instructor's license and want to be able to tell my students that I am a lifetime NRA member. Please PM me.

I would be wiling to pay you for you time and trouble via PayPal.com. I called NRA and they said the NRA life member will have a form he received in the mail? After asking a few more question the lady on the phone said to get the member to NRA-activate.org.

Thank you.
 
Got it.

I got it thanks, for the help. The first time I called some mean lady told me it was over and would not answer any of my questions before she hung up. But I called back today and a very nice man helped me and took my $300.

I AM NOW A PROUD NRA LIFE MEMBER.

Being only 27 I think I will get my $300 worth.:neener:
 
I called yesterday and spoke to someone about life membership for my son. I've been a lifer since 1969 and they very graciously told me sure thing. Another life member signed up.
 
Anyone willing to do another life sponsor on me? It's about time I do my part and join!
 
This is an awfully nice service by Tuckerdog. I became a Life member last year with his help and am very glad I did. Take him up on his offer while it is available!
 
Hi folks - I'm an NRA member, but if this deal comes up again, I'd love to be able to be an NRA Life Member.

Thanks
 
Well guys, the life membership specials seem to come around towards the end of the year, so be sure to keep an eye out here. Last year a couple of folks here offered to share in the wealth, I'm sure there will be a few this year as well. The only offer I got last year was to upgrade my life to the next step, and to add family members as life members, which I acted on. That ended up being a big old check to headquarters from my account, but I feel every penny was money well invested.
 
I've never understood this: if your goal is to "support" the NRA financially, then what good is it in "shopping around" for a "deal" on membership? Any money you save is money they don't receive, so unless you just want your name on the mailing lists, saving money on your membership isn't doing them (or you) any good.

I say that merely from an outside perspective. I don't really support NRA one way or another (I occasionally do the "Round-up" donations to them when buying things, but that's about it).

There is more then one reason for a life membership. Some people like the convenience of not having to renew, or the fact that being a "Life member" implies a higher level of commitment than the average member.

There are plenty of people who would love to be a life member, but can't afford the whole fee up front. Full price is pretty steep.

From the NRA point of view, a life member is a member they don't have to worry about retaining. They've made the sale. Even if it's a reduced rate, it's a life membership sale they probably would not have made otherwise.

And, if these "discount life members" want to contribute more financially in the future when they can afford it, they can always upgrade to Endowment Member, or just donate.

One other thing: If you are a NRA Training Counselor, (the instructor who creates instructors) you *must* maintain a NRA membership, without lapse, in order to maintain your status as a TC. If your membership lapses because you forgot to renew, you lose your TC creds and have to take the classes again and reapply. I know several TC's who became life members just so they would never have to worry about that issue.

I was an annual member for over thirty years before upgrading to life membership.

With the amount of renewal notifications that the NRA sends out, I don't see how anyone could miss maintaining an annual membership.

True, but if you are a TC its one less thing to worry about. If your membership lapses, for even a day, you lose your TC status. Considering how expensive and time consuming TC training is, and how relatively rarely it's offered, it's cheap insurance against an uninentional lapse causing big problems.
 
I didn't read the entire thread, but I am and Easy Pay Life Member. I pay $25 each quarter until the life membership is paid off. Sometimes if I can afford more, I pay more. You can even set it up so the payments are made automatic each time on a credit card.
 
+ 1 for the Easy Pay Life team.

The $300 sounds great, but I'll stick to getting more money into the NRA's hands, albeit slooooowly.

Biggest dog in the fight deserves more milk-bones.
