I still cannot find it mentioned on the NRA sites and the offer mailed to me was to enroll a family member for $300.

The catch is that the sponsoring member pays the $300, not the new enrollee. Getting involved to this depth is beyond my capabilities.

Reading the Defensive Carry thread to the end, it is clear that one member is considering collecting money from those he sponsors to pay the NRA.

I just want someone to verify the details of what is being offered before we jump off the deep end.

$300 NRA life membership ( NEW )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, many of you know, awhile back Life Members of the NRA got a special offer to sign up new Life Members for $300 ( normal price is $1,000 ).

A pretty sweet deal was worked out with some folks at the NRA, and we were able to get 50+ new Life Members signed up. Others on different forums got even more.

Well, I guess the numbers that got in for $300 may have caught the NRA off guard.

I just got a new offer in the mail. I can again sign somebody up for $300 ( They say family member. but we're all family here. Right ). The problem is, I can ONLY sign up 1 person. They do have a box on the submission form that hints they may offer it up to more than one later, and do I want to be notified if they do. Well YES.

They have made it a bit more difficult as well. No easy phone call. I have to send in this form ( with payment ). They will in turn return an activation form, that I need to turn over to the new member. And finally, the new member sends in the activation form.

Really don't understand why they want to limit it like this, and make it such a hassle. Every person that could get on board puts $300 in the till, and adds permanent head count.

Anyway, I'd like to get at least the 1 I'm being allowed ( maybe more will be allowed later ). So the 1st to PM me and says they want to do it gets it. However, you'll have to follow through. If contact becomes a problem, or payment doesn't show in a reasonable time, I'll move to the next in line.

This is why I was hoping Charles might have knowledge of another offer.

Here are relevant details from the offer.

"For the next 60 days, the NRA has reserved for you the opportunity to nominate a son, a daughter, grandson or granddaughter, niece or nephew as your Legacy Life Member of the NRA"

"At this time, only one Legacy Life Membership can be made available per Life Member."

"Life Membership credentials for your Legacy Life Member will be forwarded to you upon receipt of full payment, along with an Activation Form to be completed by your Legacy Life Member."

Key points:

The sponsoring member pays for the membership.

It is for a family member.

Credentials are sent to the sponsoring member.

This is clearly NOT the offer that so many here took advantage of recently, where all that was required was the membership information of the sponsor.

But that offer ran just after I last received the Legacy Life offer.

Thank you for contacting us.
There is a Legacy Life Membership offer for $300. The information for this offer is sent to a life member, to give to someone else in his or her family. So the offer I just mentioned is not a scam. But in order to sign up for it, you have to have the proper form, which was sent out to certain life members.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards,
Mike
