decided i wanted a cheaper source of heat

[1LtCAP 4,262]

 so i finally joined the nra. now, i'll wait for the boatloads of junk mail, and i'll burn it to heat the shop.

 

all sarcasm aside........i've been in the nj2as before, let that expire.....for reasons......then joined anjrcp.......now, finally in nra. did a 2 year membership. woohoo!! go me. yea baby!!

[Burns 16]

Nice man I am a year into a 3 year membership to the NRA, I figured I better join and support our sport.

[siderman 1,137]

Im in for the free firearm insurence lol. now get ready for the weekly renewal mailings aka kindling.

It's too bad you can't burn junk e-mail as well... then you would have enough to heat your neighbor's house too.

[EWC88 24]

Good job, one thing to look out for when your membership is coming to a end, now I am not sure if this just happened to my dad or not, but when your membership comes to it's time to soon renew you will get your boatload of phone calls, if you renew it, for some reason you'll still get calls saying to renew it. So remember you did (that's if you did) my dad forgot because he is so busy and he did it again and found out he renewed it twice so his normal membership time was doubled lol. He didn't really care because he would if anyway he said but he thought it was dumb they kept calling saying its expiring and he should renew when he already did.

NRA life member here. Even after opting out of all the junk mail and contact, they STILL call me daily and beg for $$$, and mail me crap.

It never stops.

[ogfarmer 138]

I have opted out of phone calls and junk mail and works for me. I am also life member . I still get some emails tho and offer to upgrade to endowment

[1LtCAP 4,262]

yea, she told me on the phone that i could opt out of the calls and mailings. if i get barraged with calls, i'll just blacklist the number. at home, it's irrelevent, as that phone exists solely for having a landline "just in case".

 

 i did a 2 year membership for now. the lady was extremely nice on the phone, and was honestly a pleasure to chat with.

[quickkill730 3]

life member as well and the mailing and phone calls never stop.

[67gtonut 847]

life member as well and the mailing and phone calls never stop.

 

 

I am also a Life Member.....    I get no phone calls..... and really...... maybe 1 or 2 mailing a month....    

[1LtCAP 4,262]

i should also add that i made it a point to repeatedly mention to her that part of why i've held off so long in joining, is because they seem to have forgotten that nj exists.

[94dak 0]

maybe that's because only now are people joining

[blksheep 466]

Just upgraded to life for $500.

[Carcano 14]

I'm just a year by year member and blocked the known NRA numbers so no calls, I have a dedicated Gmail account and have all NRA email in a single folder.

 

Postal mail? maybe once a month and it goes into a junk bag.

[DeerSlayer 241]

I did life a while back when they had the deals to upgrade cheap. It's nice to be able to participate in the votes.

 

You can select not to be contacted with mountains of junk mail from the ILA. Go to their website and it's in the member settings section.

 

[gleninjersey 2,139]

I joined last year. Think I have received 1, maybe 2, pieces of mail and 0 phone calls. Emails are almost everyday but I just delete what I'm not interested in.

 

Congrats on joining.

[maintenanceguy 510]

It's not the mail that's so bad. It's the phone calls.  I gave an old phone number that's no longer in use.  6 months later got a phone call on my wife's cell phone.   I have no idea how they got that number.

 

I told them if they called again, I'd drop my membership and never send in another dime.  I'll still keep my membership up and I've even made the occasional donation to the legislative NRA organization (can't remember what it's called).  But I'm not going to support them and be hassled by them. 

 

The mail eventually stops after you throw away all of the stuff they send that they want you to return if you don't like it.  The first year's dues are surely wasted in mail I just throw away but each year after that I'm actually contributing.

[twotwothree 1]

I'm a life member and they are calling all the damn time my house on a Sunday morning 8:30 WTF?

[1LtCAP 4,262]

so far, no snail mail, and no crazy calls....but it's started on the email. i'm gonna start marking their #$% as spam. i didn't join to get inundated with them trying to sell me shit.

[Oleg 8]

Setup gmail account and enable google voice. Use new phone number for free for all phone spam.
I joined nra last year (in order to join OBRPC) and never got a single call from them. Opted out of all their emails. I get mail from them once in a while, but it is manageable.

[Newtonian 453]

Geez I get maybe two or three calls a year, and nothing in the mail that I cannot easily transfer to the kindling pile. Actually I get very little mail from them. I think they're prejudiced against Italians. Anyone have the web address of Mommies Against Guns?

[werder 0]

I Joined NRA at New Years too. I was expecting calls and Mail right away and by the boat load, considering the banter I hear about it. Tbh. I have gotten just three emails. Nothing else!

[Melgamatic 66]

life member as well and the mailing and phone calls never stop.

 

I don't know how I did it, but I am a Patron Life Member, but have never received a single phone call from the NRA (not a single one), and have only received a few thick envelopes promoting the Ring of Freedom level, maybe twice a year.  Never any real junk.

[SuRrEaLNJ 294]

I'm probably gonna jinx myself but I haven't had a call this year. For a while I actually would get 2 calls a day for 4-5 days about once a month, may be every other month. I shit you not it was bad, last person I got I kindly told them it was becoming harassment, and I was done with it, has bought me some time it seems

 

Life member for me, forget when the wife's expires. Probably should check that

[1LtCAP 4,262]

i may or may not have gotten a call from them today. i got a call from colorado on my cell phone. i didn't answer, and no voicemail was left. i don't get robot calls on my cell phone though, so i'm not sure....i may call that number from the shop phone tomorrow to see.....
