DRTV and the NRA
« on: January 13, 2009, 06:25:11 PM »
I don't ask personal questions of most people. But I think this is a fair question. While most of you who contribute to this forum and have given me a wealth of knowledge belong to the NRA. I need to know if the Producers/Contributing editors of this forum belong to the NRA. I know MB does how about RP, MJ, MH, M'ett H.etc. Reason why? As I said I think its a fair question that if your going to contribute here you should part of the big picture and be proud to boast that you are a NRA member. I don't care if your reasons are you don't agree with everything they stand for. Hell! I don't agree with most ideas out there. I am a 3yr. member and I round up when I purchase supplies every chance I get.I wish I could be a life member and will be some day. I do with some shame throw out most of thier request for money I don't have. But I do my best. Fair question? Fair answer?

Howdy and thanks for asking.

At our camp (Marshal & M'ette), we are both NRA members.

I was a member even back when I was living in the Old Country (Norway).

3-yr member working on my Life membership.  My wife is an annual member.

On my way to SHOT on Saturday.

I was an annual member for many years (before I was old enough to own a handgun) before bumping up to Life member when they started the 'easy-pay system'. Paid off and been a life member for about 8 years now. I buy items on a regular basis from the NRA Store online, such as videos and such, and will probably bump up a membership level as soon as funds allow.

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

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

I've been a member since the late '70s when I was a teenager. I signed up for Life in 1986 after I finally got a good job, then I upgraded to Endowment Member in 1996. When they had a big push at the end of the millenium it was the only time in my life I could afford to upgrade all the way. I went up to Patron Membership at the begining of 2000, and finally Benefactor at the end of 2000.

I still remember my old alpha-numeric member number that I had up until Y2K when they switched to numbers only. I was MMB****W.  :)

Member for 15 years.
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
