I got one of those DVDs a couple years ago. Threw it in the trash since I’d taken the Grayguns course. They sent me “please pay us” notices that I also threw in the trash. They stopped after a while. You’re in Mass like me - you’re covered; they can’t send you unsolicited crap and then demand payment by state law...
screwmall....
That sounds very strange. I would call them up and make sure its really the NRA. If so inform them that by law you don’t have to return the DVD unless the send you a return prepaid package for it.
NRA, huh? You mean Harry Reid’s buddies....??
You are sadly mistaken about this group. The NRA’s David Keene is a well known crook.
Since Herman Caine the only thing one hears about anymore is the National Restaurant Association.
Several years ago the NRA sent me a VHS tape and asked me to pay for it or return it. I kept it and several weeks later I started receiving payment demands. I filed a complaint with the post office. A couple of weeks later I received an apology letter from the NRA that told me to keep the tape free of charge.
Long story short, it took about 5 months and the threat of a lawyer before they finally sent me the prepaid return packaging.
A lawyer friend said I could have stopped with the "thanks for the free stuff" and told them to shove it.
I had something similar happen to me, so I compromised, not keeping or returning it.
I threw it out.
Keep it.
You would have thought they would have learned from the last time they did that several years ago.
As usual, I did not read the junk they sent (due to the volume and the fact it is always just begging for money), just pulled whatever it was (VCR tape?) out of the box, unopened, and filed it with rest of the tapes.
Some months later, the nasty-gram came so I mailed it back to them unopened.
If I want it, I will order it.

Any number of alternatives to NRA if they are unsuitable for you...
As a Life Member, I got the DVD also, and returned it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope...Easy enough, and just trying to be neighborly...
I realize I was under no obligation whatsoever to do anything with an unsolicited item sent to me in the mail without my prior consent...
Too bad, because Rob Pincus’ training DVDs are very good, and definitely worth a look...I doubt he had anything to do with this fund raising scheme...

It's on NRA letterhead and the DVD says “American Rifleman presents” Personal Defense Network. “Shooting in Realistic Environments”.
Off topic, but I thought the content was pretty good but my DVD was defective about half way through it.
Regardless. They did send it with a return envelope. More importantly, the next to the last sentence in the second paragraph on page two says “Because you didn't ask for this special DVD, you don't have to participate or send it back and can consider it a free gift. No questions asked.”
