So as some of you know ANJRPC has been pissing me off for the past two months. I have tried to contact people at ANJRPC to get to the bottom of this and have gotten no response. Now tonight I call and the woman's inbox on her her answering machine is full, WTF has this person been doing for the past two months. This is the email that follows that I sent to the president.

 

Dear Mr. Bach,

 

I am emailing you due to the fact that I have no other idea of what to do. I would like to explain my complete dis-satisfaction with the way ANJRPC has been running things lately. Back at the beginning of June I went to membership sign up at Cherry Ridge to renew my yearly membership for the range. At that time I also paid to get my club signed up for Cherry Ridge as well. Now here it is the end of July and both of my checks have yet to be taken from my checking account, I still don't have my new membership card and I still have yet to hear a word on the Clubs Membership status.

 

About 4 weeks ago I emailed ANJRPC to get to the bottom of this and that email was never answered. A week after that I decided to call Membership Records/Status @ 201-891-2376. I left a detailed message with my name, number, membership number and concerns and that call was never answered as well. Now tonight I call that same number and I can't even leave a message because the inbox is full!

 

Also a friend of mine signed up his whole family the same day in June and they have yet to receive their membership cards as well. Now there may be a very logical reason as to why this situation has occurred but no one in membership has been filled in why or been given any idea of what to expect.

 

On top of it all, the response that ANJRPC provided to the McDonald case was absolutely pathetic. For a case that has so much meaning to gun rights in NJ I would of expected ANJRPC to have a statement ready for the press the second the verdict came in. I am not alone in my opinion but in the past year the quality of representation that ANJRPC has given us members in NJ has been down right terrible. This organization use to be at the fore front of fighting for gun rights in NJ, now it seems your just hanging on the back of the NRA and as we all know in NJ, NRA doesn't give a crap about this state. It would be great to see ANJRPC make a turn around because there is a big base of members that are very dis-satisfied at the moment.

 

If you could get to the bottom of this problem ASAP that would be greatly appreciated. I would hope that I will get an email back from you in a timely manner.

Thanks for your time

Matthew

 

 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Like a lot of organizations, it seems the bigger ANJRPC gets, the worse it gets.

so they cannot use the range yet with no crudentials..

Only one way those ANJRPC clowns will change, and that is if their members hit them the only way they care about - their wallet.

 

Seriously. That gun club is making them a fortune. And masquerading as NRA/gun rights group makes their less knowledgeable members feel like they're helping a good cause. And the state damn well knows they aren't doing anything meaningful, so they lay off of them too. I doubt anyone in ANJRPC truly cares or wants to change things for the better in NJ. Why risk it when they've got it good already? They're making tons of money, and that's all it's really about to them.

 

The fact that NJ is bound to the second amendment for the first time in history, and their website did not even have a god damned thing besides a repost of an NRA statement, shows you just how "important" gun rights are to them

 

Don't they have a monthly meeting? I'd suggest a bunch of Cherry Ridge members show up and voice this concern to them at a meeting. They can ignore e-mails and phone calls, but can they ignore two dozen members all asking them at a meeting why they don't give a shit? Seriously, some of you guys should show up and tell these fools how it is.

 

And if they want to call themselves a gun rights organization but do nothing except OGAM publicity stunt and repost NRA statements (about as meaningful as toilet paper) then maybe the members should demand they either do something or they'll take their money elsewhere.

I am feeling a little better now. In under an hour I have gotten a reply from the President. It is as follows.

 

Matthew:

 

 

 

Thanks for your email.

 

 

 

I apologize for the experience you are having with regard to membership. We recently changed over our system and have experienced some issues along the way. I've copied our membership folks who will hopefully get to the bottom of the situation.

 

 

 

With regard to your comment about McDonald, our focus has not been on a rush to soaring rhetoric, but rather careful analysis of the decision and development of a comprehensive strategy to give the Second Amendment full effect in the Garden State. I believe you will be pleased in the coming months when you learn what we have planned. Some organizations issue press releases; others act. We try to do both, but don't always hit the target. We will have lots to say about McDonald in the future, but it will be coupled with MAJOR action.

 

 

 

Thanks for bearing with us.

I hope they do something, as my money is wasted on the NRA.

FWIW, I got my membership card in 2 weeks.

Good for you. :roll:

 

I'm 8 weeks in and I have not received my permanent cards yet. We are still using our temp cards which we received at Membership Sunday. When the RO's say something to me... Well... Confrontation possible, harsh words likely.

No worries...... since they cut down the staff to save money, you most likely wont even see an RO

Troy if your bored I would send an email to Scott Bach and complain about the lack of ro's and the now degraded safety. I'm sure you'll get a reply with am answer.

FWIW I also signed up in June (new member though) at Cherry Ridge and received my membership card in about 5 weeks (got it toward the beggining of July)

If you have specific complaints, I suggest tracking down your Regional Vice President and explain your concerns. There job is to represent your interests at the Board Meetings.

SHOCKED!!!

 

I finally got a call from someone at ANJRPC tonight and she's "looking" into both my renewal and the memberships status.
