Thanks for the response, Charles. I was sure that NRA takes such things into account. They haven't lasted for umpty-ump years by being stupid. I'll follow up with a call to them later, per your suggestion.

I got the same call. Same high pressure, "you MUST give us your credit card info right now" tactics. I didn't appreciate it at all. If it had been anyone else, I would have just hung up. As it was, I asked them to send me a solicitation in the mail, as I don't give my credit card info over the phone.

I got one like it a few weeks ago. My mother in law was in the next room dying. Right then. I'm too nice of a guy. I tried to explain to the person why I had to hang up - that she was dying - and he still pressured me for a "sale" before I could get off the phone, even after I suggested that he call back in a few days and I could then speak to him.

I DO support the NRA and I am a life time member, but that kind of abuse I don't need. That said, I will continue to support them because the cause is a bigger issue than the sales pressure. However, and I hope that NRA officials responsible for fund-raising read this, you catch more flies with honey. Please teach your call center employees to show a little more humanity toward the people they are soliciting. It would go a long way toward generating good will.
