Title: NRA Life Member
Post by: Pathfinder on March 25, 2008, 08:13:07 PM
Well, it's official, came in the mail today.

I've been on their EPL program a while, took some of the cash from the ranch proceeds and paid it off. Got the certificate and all, still going through all the ads and promo materials. But it looks good.

Feels good too.

Good for you Path.
Congratulations.
I will be upgrading to another higher level before the NRA Convention. I have been a life member since I got back from Vietnam in 1966. And have upgraded since.
I think it is money well spent and good for us 2A supporters.
Bill

Congrats.

I have been a life member for a long time myself. I have been getting mailing to move up to a "benefactor member" which I'm going to do.

The 2nd A gets stronger every time someone joins !!!

Congrats again !!!

I did forget to mention I have been an annual member for more than a decade, ever since I divorced the anti-gun liberal. Went EPL about four years ago, finally pulled the trigger.

My ex wife was from Ca. When we first met I told her I'd had guns long before her, and probably long after. Well , she's gone and the guns are still here. ;D

Congratulations!

As a "newbie" ( only 10 years ), to the NRA,  I too will also remain a loyal member to a great organization.

Thank you for your commitment.

Congrads to you and getting your life membership, I have been since the early 70s and upgraded to Edowment several years back. The best thing I have done I signed my two sons 6 and 9 at the time I took the extended pay and they have been life members for 26 years that's a gift I could give them that lasted a lifetime. ;D

This photo was Oregon Inlet, NC in Spring 2007, Current coming in, wind blowing out, captain with no sense. The "legs in the air"
is the "fishing buddy" who was not hurt too badly. Captain bought beer for buddy rest of day.

Boat survived, but cracked the helm and broke the seat base coming down. Lost the cooler on deck and 4 rods.

Probably should have just went to the range and worked on windage adj. for scope.

Congrats!!! After your wallet heals up, take the next jump, then the next, then the next, then the grand pooba level. Took me years to get there, but I`m proud to say I`ve been a Benefactor member for over three years. I love guns (all kinds) and don`t regret one penny that I`ve donated through the years.

It amazes me as to how many "gun lovers" are out there that don`t belong to the NRA. Guess they count on guys like us to take up the slack. ;D
