I called the NRA to verify that this wasn't just a rumor. I was told that yes, this promotion is currently running, but the sponsor must be an already established, paid-in-full Life Member - someone who's LM is pending or who is still making payments on the easy-pay plan can not provide sponsorship.With the upcoming elections, it's a good time to join the NRA if you've been thinking about it. And if you're like me, and you've been thinking of joining as a life member, they're giving you an unadvertised chance to do it really cheap. Life membership currently runs a thousand bucks. But until February 15th -- that's Friday -- if you join as a referral from an existing life member, you can become one yourself for just $300. And you don't need an application form; you can do it right over the phone.
You need the NRA life member to give you his or her membership number, name, and address (for verification purposes). Call the NRA (877-NRA-2008), tell them you're joining through the promotion. When they ask for membership number give them the life member's, then verify the name and the address. Then give 'em your credit card number and pick your magazine -- and that's it; you're an NRA life member. Or will be when your membership packet arrives.
If you don't know an NRA life member, call your range, or your gun shop, and ask if they know anybody who can help you out. Good chance they can. My membership packet hasn't arrived yet, so I can't sponsor anyone myself.
Again: This promotion ends February 15th, which is this Friday.
Any Lifer here willing to provide a sponsorship for me? Please PM!
Thanks!
Congratulations Dukesean!
