Good for you Buckshot!
I first joined in 1972, while a student in Jr. High, as a gift from a really good uncle. However, I did a horrible job of consistancy (member for a few years, miss a year, member for a couple years, miss a few ...) untill five years ago I bit the big one and sent a check for Life. Amazing how much easier it is to support them in other ways now that I don't miss the dues anymore.
Same here. Now that I don't have to worry about dues, I can go online and buy from the store or make contributions when I can.
I bought a whole collection of videos on guns several years back (one at a time). It adds up for them and don't break the bank on my end.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
