Don't know if the NRA is running a special, but

[mav]

I called the NRA to change my address, and while I was on the phone I, being a life member, was offered an Endowment membership for $250.  I don't really know what that means, but I accepted it.  I don't use any NRA services, but I think they did a good job during the gun control push, so I might as well give them a contribution as my thanks.

I thought, and I'm sure someone will correct me, that endowment level members could bequeath their membership to some one else when they pass. I could have just made that up and be way off base though.

[Oh Shoot]

They just became beneficiary and alienee of your entire estate. ;)

Not wise, no matter what the offer, and no matter who made the offer.
