Doesn’t ring a bell, and I believe one of my local trainers received material from them last month...

I recently got an email from them saying that training materials are temporarily unavailable, but that’s all I know. FYI, I am an Instructor/Training Counselor.

Why would someone confiscate training materials? They might “go off?”

Sounds bizarre.

I read the reason on another site (AR15.com) last Friday. The company that handles printing, distribution and order fulfillment for the NRA training material, and many other customers, went out of business very suddenly, leaving about 100 workers without their last paycheck.

Apparently, the NRA does not hold all of the rights on the training material - some copyrights apparently were held by the fulfillment company. That means the NRA can't just run out to Kinko's and print up some more copies. From what I gathered, its a big shady legalistic mess - successful company bought out and driven to the ground, and maybe even some outsourcing angle. I will see if I can find the article again.
