What level of NRA membership are you?


Recommended Posts

Today I upgraded my status from NRA Patron Life Membership to NRA Life Benefactor membership for $275. Benefactor is the highest level of membership offered by the NRA. I joined the NRA as a Life member on the easy pay life (EPL) for $500 in 1993. I paid $25 every 3 months until I reached the $500 for life membership. Over the past few years the NRA has been running a special to upgrade your status of membership at the first of the year. So over the past 3 years I have went from life member to endowment member to patron member to benefactor member. Each step up from life member was $275. What level of membership are you?

No matter what level you are I want to challenge everyone one on here to become a member of the NRA and if you are already a member upgrade your membership. I work with several men that own guns or go hunting. I ask them to join the NRA because they are not members. The most common response is they reply is "I need to dont I".

I'm a basic member. I may misunderstand the Life memberships, though.

I thought once you paid the fee, either all at once or by installments, to be a Life Member, you didn't pay anymore.

I don't like that idea. If I support an organization, I want to be actively supporting them. I don't think the NRA gains much by having my name on a list as it does having my money every two years.

Then again, what if I decide to stop supporting the organization for any reason? I'm still on the roster as a life member, even if I'd stopped any extra contributions.

I prefer to support the NRA, and a few other groups, on a shorter basis. They wind up with more of my money, and when it's something I support I think that's a good thing.

I'm on the poor-man's yearly program.

This +1...and I just joined a few months ago. Then again I did just purchase my first firearm a few months before that, so I guess I'm doing okay (other than I should've started buying firearms 20 years ago heh)

Endowment and, being retired, I'll probably stay here.

Benefactor, and I'm done.  :D

I'd have to dig deep, but I think I've been a member since 1974.
