Are you an NRA member?

[Frederick]

I checked yes, but am considering not renewing and going with GOA instead. I routinely get phone calls from NRA after 9pm. It really pisses me off

And they spam my mailbox, too.

Really?? Dang, I'm starting to feel really unloved. (It's okay. I'm perfectly okay with it, just wondering why I special enough I don't get calls and emails like you guys ...)

Been a member as long as I can remember, and at one time got the calls, etc.
Before the internet, I looked in the magazine and got the customer service phone number, and asked to be put on the no-call, no-mail list.
Then I just got annual renewal notices.
Now I renew through our local gun club. We are an NRA Gold Star range where all have to be a member and we are recruiters. Members get $5 off renewing through the club, and the club gets a little money back for each renewal.

I never get phone calls, get maybe one email every two weeks and something via snail mail maybe once a month if that as far as soliciting more money. I do get their newsletter and all the magazines via their app on my tablet so I can read some stuff. Seriously thought about getting an NRA license plate just to irritate my father but figured while driving in KommieFornia I would end up being a target for the cops with a plate like that. Plus the handicap plate it like 1.50 per year so why not, I hate the crap hanging from the mirror and the wife often forgets to put it up when we park. Now I don't need to worry.

Lifetime member.
I joined during one of their lifetime membership deals. $400 lump payment if my memory is right.

At first there were a lot of phone call and tons of emails.
I think the emails (NRA website?) has a link to adjust how often they contact you.
Now, I get a few emails (by choice) and it's no big deal.

I'd recommend joining - gun owners need some lobbying power in the political circles.

Life benefactor member here. Disappointment with the NRA has been discussed in this forum. I don't get phone calls and don't get much mail but I know some of you do. But being a member makes you a number and being a number gets you counted. In the lobbying business that gives the NRA more muscle.

it doesn't matter what Gun lobbying group you're a member of, if we don't vote and organize, nothing stands between the democrats and the erosion of our rights.

i may not always agree with these organizations but i damn sure thank god we have them.

I got tired of their spamtacular calls and mailings - and wasn't even a member. Decided I couldn't take more of the same.
