I have been a member for over 60 years, that said, I feel there needs to be a shake up or reorganization in it. I paid my membership two months ago. Since that time I have received three letters, two phone calls and two emails saying I need to renew my membership. Waste of time and money. I will continue to support them but as said by some, I feel a change in leadership should be looked at to better support us. I also belong to the CA. Rifle and Pistol Assn. which I feel does a better job for us here as far as firearms and hunting than the NRA.
There are a lot of better local grassroots organizations, like the CCDL in CT. GOA is a good organization as well. I rather give them my hard earned money then the NRA at this time. I am a life member of the NRA, I am a NRA certified instructor, and I will continue to support them. However I am dam sure going to criticize were so deserved. I was very vocal with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation years ago when they wouldn't take a stand on wolves. I pay them money to support what is best for ELK, hunting, and commonsense. I didn't stop supporting, but I dam sure let them know how displeased I was. If you can't and won't criticize something you support, you are just a sheep and follower. Ok and average are not acceptable to me.
