Business owners are doing everything to keep their pricing down and still make a descent profit. The internet has changed how most purchase products and even though brick-mortar shops still do well, on-line price comparisons are only a few clicks away.

At most guns shows I attend there is a 5% CC fee, trying to beat the guy at the next booth. Some pay it and others don't!

The site could publish pricing that reflects the NRA discount, just like some sites do for a cash payment discount (Buds is one). That way a price search would still show the low price. Midway makes an effort here by including an easy way to add an NRA donation when you buy anything at their site. Of course, that doesn't cost Midway anything other than administrative fees.....

I finally joined the NRA just last month after hesitating to do so for many years. Personally, my reluctance was because the NRA did not push hard enough for gun rights and seemed too willing to compromise. I finally decided to join out of sheer fear at the loss of all our rights if HRH Hillary succeeds BHO.

I don't think it is a cost issue for most people. But to the extent it is, I also think that, as an industry, companies could increase NRA membership by offering discounts on range memberships, firearms purchases, and the like, for NRA members. Just mark prices up a couple percentage points and then offer a 5% discount for NRA members.
