Curley Fryes Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I joined the NRA on September 13th, but have not received anything from them via email or regular mail yet, except for an email thanking me for joining. Does anybody know how long it takes to receive a membership number or anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Probably 3-4 weeks is about average. They're not particularly fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I joined late January and didn't get anything in the mail until the first of March; 4-6 weeks I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Once all the phone calls begin, you'll know they have you in their records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Probably 3-4 weeks is about average. They're not particularly fast. +1 this ^ Normal for just about most anything - be patient. GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kajun Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Don't worry, they will more than make up for any delays in starting to send you mail....you'll get plenty.....and phone calls....and emails....and smoke signals....and telegrams....and whatever else way they can reach you.

Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 They called every night for over a week, my wife answered each time and I was either busy or not home. They never said who they were and were quite rude to my wife. I finally was able to come to the phone Sunday night when they called and told them since they were so rude in their phone calls to not call again.

El Sabre Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Apparently it is, in fact, possible to opt out and without doing very much, either. I get no calls or junk mail and have been a life member for many years. Wish I could share how I done it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch Lawman Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Really, no probaganda junk mail yet either? I find that hard to believe:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hey Curly! Welcome to the NRA and thanks for helping to protect our Rights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 If the NRA sends you unwanted e-mail, there is an instruction at the bottom on opting out. It works. If you do not want to receive mailings from them, call 1-800-672-3888. I don't mind getting updates and even pleas for money. I get those from less worthwhile organizations all the time.

Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm a life member and I just told them not to phone anymore. I get a little snail & email but absolutely 0 phone calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I get mail from the NRA and most of it winds up in the wastebasket. I don't know about phone calls because I let the answering machine handle those and they usually just hang up. What irks me is gun owners who say they won't belong to the NRA because of the junk mail. Really? I guess they don't have wastebaskets! The NRA is our friend and despite the annoying junk mail they are "looking out for us". I became a life member this year when they had that $300.00 special. Good deal!

J-BAR #18287 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 September 13th? Your check probably is just now clearing the bank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curley Fryes Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 September 13th? Your check probably is just now clearing the bank! I paid by credit card online. I emailed them to get my membership number and within 10 minutes they gave that to me. They also told me I should be receiving my magazine, Bass Pro Shops gift card, duffel bag, and hat within 2 weeks, but probably wouldn't receive the written informaton until about 3 to 4 weeks.

I get a little snail & email but absolutely 0 phone calls. +1 Just a few snail and email. Don't mind at all. They have pissed me off iwth occasional decisions and strategy, but over all very good .We need the large voice, weight and presence they bring to counter the lefty loons and their lapdog media who pull the emotional hearstrings of those many in our country who do not know better, yet..
