The "free" membership is limited, I receive only important updates, no calls, extra mailings, or magazines. When I renew with the real subscription I'll opt out of all those anyway. I figure the people that are on this board now know what the NRA is about, before I had my CHL I hadn't the slightest clue how important they can be.

I got a year free with my CHL class last September. The only problem: NRA membership is directed at raising funds for campaigning Pro-Gun ideals. With a free membership you're not really supporting the cause. I will say though, getting a CHL (and in turn the free membership) really brought me into the whole gun world, if I hadn't received the free membership I wouldn't have decided to join for real, which is probably the point in the long run.
