NRA membership for foreign nationals - ????
Hello - I am a foreign citizen living in the US. Yes, yes, legal and all that..."green" card and so on. I value and advocate gun rights for the individual as much as the next pro-2nd Ad. person. would I be allowed to join the NRA, or does the NRA require more information for vetting a foreign national? I've thought about it for a very long time, but never new if a distinction was made. Any advice is helpful. Thank you.

To the best of my recollection, the NRA doesn't ask a person's citizenship on their membership application.

As far as I know, there's no requirement that you be a U.S. citizen. In fact, I just looked on their signup page, and there is a blank to fill in your country, but no blank to fill in your citizenship.

I believe you would be just fine. Just give them a call at 1-877-672-2000 (1-877-NRA-2000). They will be able to help you as well as sign you up right over the phone.

Yes you can join the NRA as a green card holder.I actually became a life member when I had my green card before I became a citizen.

If you have money, you can certainly join. Generally, it is worth it.

While overseas on a business trip to Puerto Rico, I stayed at a hotel in Ponce'.....down the hill was a shooting range with a large NRA sign hanging out front. IDPA shooters were blazing away. NRA has supporters and affiliates all over the world.

Puerto Rico is part of the US, so that example is a bit odd.

It's a valid point; but you'd be surprised how many Americans think Puerto Ricans are foreign (not realizing Puerto Rico has been a US holding since 1898).

I became a Life member in 1990, longgg before I had US citizenship.
