February 16, 201214 yr Hi Guys, This may be just news to me but apparently If you are an NRA member you need to "activate" the benefits. As an NRA Member, you’re entitled to $7,500.00 in NO COST benefits ($12,500.00 for Life Members). But your Confirmation is REQUIRED for full activation. $5,000.00 NO COST AD&D Member Only Benefit: Your loved ones will receive a check for $5,000.00 ($10,000.00 for Life Members) if you suffer a fatal covered accident. There are no strings attached and you pay nothing for this benefit. The NRA endorses this benefit to stand by your family with $5,000.00 cash benefits ($10,000.00 for Life Members) paid straight to your loved ones if you fall victim to a fatal hunting or shooting accident; suffer a fatal car accident on your way to or from an NRA event, are attacked and killed by an intruder in your home or at work, or fall victim to a violent crime such as an attempted robbery, hold-up or felony crime. (In addition, $25,000.00 is paid for NRA Law Enforcement Officers who suffer a fatal accident while in the line of duty.) $2,500.00 NO COST ArmsCare Benefits: Set up exclusively for NRA Members, ArmsCare gives you a safety net for your firearms. Your firearms are protected againsttheft (from your home or a locked portion of your vehicle) … against loss (it could happen as quickly as an overturned duck boat) … and against damage (from fire or flood for instance). Of course, you’re not required to register your guns to activate the NO COST ArmsCare coverage. No serial numbers are needed. Here's the link to activate. http://www.nraendors...ts.aspx?prod=42
February 16, 201214 yr Author TINSTAAFL "There Is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch" I had to google that $h1t!
February 16, 201214 yr TINSTAAFL This. I get these letters in the mail all the time and throw them out with the letters from my car dealer saying "We'll pay you more than you paid us for your car 2 years ago", or the free roundtrip flight for 2 when you sign up for an airline credit card that has an annual fee of $150. If this benefit were TRULY free and TRULY no strings attached, it would be an automatic part of my NRA membership that I didn't have to register for or activate. I would really like to know what the actual catch is though, but if someone verifies that there really isn't one, then I'll change my tune and sign up, but I don't typically trust something that calls and snail mails me repeatedly to get me to sign up for something "free with no strings".
February 16, 201214 yr I suspect they offer exactly what they're offering. I also suspect you'll get an endless barrage of efforts to get you to "upgrade your protection" for just a small fee. I would also really go over the fine print as far as payouts go. It's probably only payable in Thai Baht, on the 4th tuesday after a blue moon in a hail storm on the corner of Hollywood and Vine at 3am.
February 16, 201214 yr I don't know if anyone has noticed this but it seems as though you need to keep activating this. I received a letter in the mail, filled it out and sent it back. About six months later, I received another letter indicating that I needed to activate my coverage.

That's probably an artifact of their quality database system that gets updated on the same schedule as payouts.
February 16, 201214 yr I had thought the activation was for the increase in coverage above the no-cost portions along with the corresponding charges for the increased coverage.
