Life member, 16 years on local Friends of the NRA banquet committee, longtime grassroots volunteer, ILA contributor. Half of the money raised at state FNRA banquets, comes back to the state in the form of grants for youth programs, shooting programs and other worth while projects.

Not particularly impressed with some of their recent moves in PA, notably sticking their nose into the xbow debate and their ill-conceived and perfidious opposition to recent legislation intended to finally put some teeth in our poaching laws.

Two biggest complaints I've heard from members during many years at the Eastern Sports and Outdoors show, are about the constant mailings/phone calls and the Chinese-made stuff they hand out or sell.

Anyone that doesn't want to be constantly solicited, can call member services and ask to be removed from their soliciation list: 800-672-3888.

As for the unsolicited videos and books, US Postal regs state that anything you receive in the mail that you didn't request, is yours to keep, or send back. Your choice.
