Yes for just $600 you can help NRA take credit when legislatures in other states expand their citizens' gun rights.

and on a practical side, NRA membership is required for plenty of private clubs.

Beyond that, many of our members are either planning on leaving NJ or already have, and about 30% of our visitors are from outside NJ. =)

How do you expect the NRA to magically make things better in this state when "we" keep on allowing gun grabbing leftist assholes to be elected each election cycle? If it's true that there are over 1 million gun owners in NJ, that's a pretty big voting bloc that needs to take action. The NRA can only do so much.

 

On another note, i got something in the mail the other day and they're doing ez pay life for $600. I might take them up on that.

Not a big fan of NRA here. One thing they could do in NJ is help organize those alleged 1 million gun owners into a voting bloc, something I've advocated for years. Another is to invest a minimal amount of resources towards un-electing NJ legislators in vulnerable districts. I have outlined a plan to do that several times in this forum. Not much interest. The other thing they did which annoyed, it seemed, only me is not inviting Christie to their Republican shindig last year. "YEAH CHRISTIE #$)#( RINO #$@#$(" blah blah blah." WTF is NRA to decide who is in a position to help NJ gun owners? And for something Christie ran on like 20 years ago! Meanwhile Christie has been the only bright spot for us as the legislature has tried again and again to pound gun owners into irrelevance. You yahoos don't like Christie much? Wait until Murphy is governor.

Finally, NRA pissed me off most recently when it did not stand up for that poor guy in Minneapolis, a licensed CC guy, who was executed by a cop for following the letter of the law. The cop was acquitted of all charges, of course, because he felt he was "in danger." Poor little snowflake.

NRA has written NJ off. Their relations with us consist of 1) collecting dues 2) collecting dues 3) collecting dues 4) providing certification for training that is for the most part irrelevant to NJ residents and 5) "sanctioning" organizations like ANJRPC, to which I belong, again for reasons that have no relevance to me. 

It's a free country. Send them your $600 if you like. Expecting something in return is sheer madness.

Once again you nailed it....I feel the same way. They are more concerned with Lapierre's humongous salary then helping the states that actually need them the most.

As I've said before they take credit for changing laws so Oklahoma girl scouts can carry to church picnics on Thursday between the hours of 3:00 and 4:30 pm. Meanwhile in Sussex County, NJ...

You forgot the part about the incessant spamming for extra donations.

Im a Life member.  Planning on doing Endowment membership when they offer the discount again.
 
It was $500 with ez pay plan.

I did a few years of annual membership then the $500 life member a few years ago because I believed in them and many clubs require membership but now they won't get another red cent out of me.

      Yesterday, I attended Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays in Coplay, PA for the first time! I went with @Mrs.Zeke to their NRA Women on Target event - more on that later. I feel very grateful to have attended (and, again, thanks to @Ms. 12 Gauge for letting me know about the event!) Here's my feedback: 
      Sporting Clays: Yikes, what a fun shooting sport!!  If you don't know anything about it, you are moving through a course and at each station there's clays being thrown different ways (varying direction, speed, even a type called a rabbit that rolls along the ground). It's challenging. And for even more challenge, they have 3 defined courses there - beginner, intermediate and advanced. So think of it like a golf course - each station is like a hole - they even have gas-powered golf carts you can rent, or little scooters (I think those are free) and little wheelie carts (also free). The operation is year-round. 
      LVSC: I haven't been to other sporting clays ranges, so I can't compare per se, but I can say this one was really "atmospheric" - and as a lover of all things Victorian, it was just my cup of tea.  It's set in a long-abandoned 1800's quarry operation. So, the old, roofless, dilapidated buildings have been taken over by trees and undergrowth - but they still hold a unique beauty (the great masonry, old arched window frames, etc. - it was like some of those photos from urban explorers who enter abandoned sites). It must look amazing in fall or after a fresh snow! Even better, one station we were at is located right over water (presumably, the old quarry pit). So, you're standing on this little covered deck, looking out across a sparkling body of water, with cliffs opposite you, trees above that and a perfect blue sky up above. Wow. Hey, did I mention it's a GREAT-LOOKING place? (LOL) Much of the course, blessedly, was in shade. And all the little stations have roofs so you've always got a little spot of shade on a hot day. The main building where you sign in was large, nicely air-conditioned (helpful yesterday of all days), well-appointed, kind of a rustic hunting lodge vibe, but very modern and clean, too (including a nice clean ladies room with the de-lead soap, etc.) The staff were all very friendly - and our instructor, Bob Broderick, was fantastic! I recommend him highly. A lot of things "clicked" for me yesterday in terms of understanding the process - that's the power of a good instructor! Here's their website: https://www.lvsclays.com/ 
      NRA Women on Target: The NRA and their partner ranges really do a great job on these events! They are designed to attract women to the shooting sports, so they're quite literally giving stuff away. This deal was so slammin' - it was impossible to pass up! FIFTY BUCKS covered the entire afternoon program. They initially had us in a room  for about an hour where we filled out paperwork and had some classroom instruction about safety, etc. We then picked up the included cold drinks, eye and ear pro, plus a loaner shotgun and instructor for each group... our little sub-group had 4 women and 2 golf carts (carts also included!!)… and we were on the course for a good 2 hours at least... with each one of us getting one-on-one attention and guidance from the instructor at each station (that alone was worth more than 50 bucks!!). Afterwards, we returned to the same room where they had snacks, more ice-cold beverages, certificates and "swag bags" which, best of all, included a coupon for 10% off of a private lesson (expires end of this year).  I have no idea what that would package would cost normally, but looking at the website, I'm guessing at least 125 or more each?
      So, if you haven't been to LVSC yet, I urge you to check it out! It's LOTS of fun. I know CNJFO is doing a fundraiser there this month - I'm sure you'd have a fantastic time AND you'd be contributing to the 2A cause at the same time. So, I'll add that link here: 
      In addition, I plan to get on the email list for their NRA Women on Target events (apparently, LVSC sponsors about 3 a year). Though I can't go again (it's for sporting clays first-timers only), I intend to advertise them in the future under our "events" section... so you can all pass the word to women shooters you know. Believe me, anyone who went would enjoy it. All the ladies who went yesterday (I'd say it was about 15-20) had a real blast!

      NRA has an auto template that sends your rep an email opposing the proposed new NJ gun laws:

      Mods please move if I posted in the wrong forum. Oh and sorry if this has been posted already.

      For me the only one that really hurts is Delta/United since they only game in town for the NY/NJ area. Maybe Metlife and Chubb too.
      Mods please move if posted in wrong section.

      "What many people don’t understand, or don’t want to understand, is that Wayne, Chris and the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots. They love our Country and will do the right thing. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

    • That bridge collapse looked scarier than many CGI versions I have seen in disaster movies.
    • Yeah, still MUCH better whatever the regular price is ($15 a pound??). Thanks Joe Biden....
    • I've watched a lot of "Mighty Ships" series on TV, as well as cruise ship series. It seems prevalent for large ships to have GPS tracking, and possibly guidance. So the path of this ship should be on record somewhere. And one critical fact would be whether or not as the ship approached the bridge it followed the correct path in the harbor channel. The conspiracy aspect would ask was  one of the electronic guidance/navigation systems hacked to put it on a collision course? I'm not anxious to find a terrorist attack. But if you'd asked me on September 10, 2001 what were the odds of four hijacked aircraft being successfully flown by amateurs into three iconic American structures... I will say there's not a doubt in my mind there are nasty people that crossed the border to cause trouble. I just can't be certain how, and how much.
