I became an NRA life member while at Knox in 80 while attending AOBC, first time I could afford it, I think it was $300 back then and I paid $25 a month till it was paid off. Much later while at Leavenworth, I met a young Chris Cox at a Gun show at KCI Expo Center. While discussing some (anti) gun magazine importation legislation Senator John Ashcroft was sponsoring at the time, I quickly discovered that he a pompous horses ass, who knew it all, and told you so. He really looked out of place, as well as out of touch with the regular folks at a Missouri gun Show.
I am not ready to towel yet and I am currently a Benefactor member. However, I did past over the opportunity the other day to become a member of the “Presidents Counsel”, mostly due the fact that I recently found out Wayne LaPierre salary is over 1 Million a year...
That salary is outrageous. There is no reason for him to pull in a million bucks a year for a gun-rights lobbying group. No way. The guy learned a few things from unions, I bet.
