NRA Life Membership

[Hometek]

Just updated my NRA membership to Life member. Been wanting to do that for a while now. (Pats self on back).

[Fishman]

Now where is that emoticon for a pat on the back?

I'm sure it will be along soon. In the meantime here is your virtual back pat.

I just bought my grandson a legacy life membership, best deal I have seen.

[Bad Water Bill]

I did that back i n 73. Best investment I ever made.[smilie=s:

[btroj]

Always thought it was odd when I found out I was born the very day my FIL got his life membership. Got mine probably 10 years ago.

[timkelley]

Good deal. Now save up and get one for the wife.

Can you tell me what a legacy life membership is?..Been looking to sign my grandson up.

I have been a Life member for close to 40 years. It cost 100.00 dollars then...........Terry

They have an ezy-pay plan for Life Membership. That's what I did many, many years ago.

[John Guedry]

Life member since 1996.

[76 WARLOCK]

The Legacy deal is an invitation I got several months ago. I don't know how I got on the list, I have been an endowment member since 2000. Give them a call and see if you can get one its $300.

[Lloyd Smale]

same here. DId it back in the 70s

[Wayne Smith]

Now paying off the ezy-pay plan.

[Bad Water Bill]

Just like Lloyd.

Back then $100.00 was a weeks pay before taxes.

[Ajax]

Same as Wayne ez-pay here.

Same as what Junior said. Good deal. I get pretty cranky about the NRA BS at times, and
there is no doubt that Wayne is making sure that he is living the high life on our nickel,
BUT - when we were pushing for a lot of years on CCW in KS, we got a lot of critical,skilled
help from the NRA and some critical funding at the right times, too.

So - as much as they can be a PITA, the NRA is really the 900 lb gorilla on the gun
rights issue, and we all need to recognize that and support them. After that, we can have
a "family discussion" about our differences of opinion of how we exactly go about doing
things.

800 lb. gorillas not withstanding, ;-) there are other pro 2A groups out there that won't compromise, as much.

SAF & GOA come to mind.

Now that my NRA Life Membership is paid, I intend to buy two more Legacy Memberships, for my youngest son, and my youngest granddaughter (10 months). My wife's Legacy Membership is paid up, as well.

After the Legacy Memberships are all paid, then I think I'm going to go lifer on both GOA & SAF for myself. Putting my money where my mouth is isn't the real reason. I believe in our rights, period. This is the RIGHT way to defend 2A.

My kid got a notice that they are stopping the printed version of the "Insight" magazine. She is not happy about it!
We are both yearly paying members. I think they use up our membership $$ sending letters begging for more $$.
I have seen them really pushing back against the gun grabbers and helping in the CC fight lately!

Same as Junior. Completed payments of 12.50 a quarter for total of $125.00 in 1965 I think. Yep, great move, super investment, saved a whoop of money over the years on this. Upgraded to endowment a few years back when there was a promotion.

[roysha]

3- daughters, 1 son-in-law, 9- grandkids, 2- great grandkids, my wife and myself, all paid up life members. I paid mine off in 1967, the wife's about 10 years later and all the kids were signed up the day they were born.

Indeed it thoroughly ticks me off that they have gone online exclusively with the kid's magazine. While the rest of the country is trying to get people AWAY from in front of the screen, the NRA encourages just the opposite. IDIOTS!!!

[sundog]

Yeppers, easy pay plan in the early 70's. Over the years I've taken advantage of the upgrades. I am now an Endowment member. That and a buck-three-eighty will get a feller a Latte at the local Quik-Trip...

[mroliver77]

I can barely afford the yearly dues much less a life membership. Anybody ever compare the 1965 price to today's lifer price?(in comparative value)

[KCSO]

Many years ago when $200 would do it I thought about a life membership but decided that to keep paying my yearly dues was the best route to go. I have paid in many times what I might have donated over the years. A year at a time for 40 years is a lot of bucks and I am kinda glad I went that way.

[MakeMineA10mm]

I did the easy-pay-life route for about 70% of my life membership, but then I went to an NRA convention (which was close-by for once), and they had a deal where you could upgrade a life membership to any of the "super-life" levels at a considerable discount. They pulled me up on the computer and saw where I was at on my EPL payments, and I was able to pay that off, and upgrade to Benefactor member all at once. It was still a lot of money (could've bought a couple nice guns for what that cost), but I felt the "deal" was in supporting an organization that fights for our rights here at home and abroad in the international BS that is going on (like the UN). Now, I send my meager quarterly schekles to the ILA to keep them going.
