I finally joined, then even before I got my first American Rifleman, I got a fake billing from them trying to deceive me into extend my membership. Bad form really. Looks like they are going to be worse than AARP in trying to flimflam the membership. A bad beginning makes for a bad ending, so I might just be a single year member.

That's too bad, really. It's a great organization that fights for our rights, and do a good job of it.
It's a shame their reputation is sullied by over zealous sales people in a boiler room.
I do all of my NRA business through their website now days. If the sales people call me, and they do continually, I carefully explain that to the phone sales person.
I suspect the problem is that they (phone sales people) are probably paid via commission. That shouldn't be allowed.

Ya, my anger at the flimflam attempt will likely be dissipated during the coming year. They are the only effective game in town for gun rights. Don't want to cut off my nose just to spite my face.

That and if you sign up for email updates they will send special alerts to keep everybody informed of new threats to our rights, as well as victories.
I encourage everyone to join.

I gave up on the NRA years ago. My contribution is buying a lot of guns.

Sorry to hear you gave up on them. Lots of guns can't hurt though.
IMO, the N.R.A. is one of the largest lobby groups in D.C. (District of Criminals) that help to look out for our rights.

This thread is about six years old now, so you will have to keep your eyes peeled for any up and coming deals.
I suggest buying an annual membership for now and they will inform you of special offers in the future.
The deal is, they need money to fight the gun grabbers in D.C., so I wont lie, they will ask for donations. It's up to you if you do, or don't want to send them any.
