The NRA works hard to support its state affiliates, and the TSRA was recognized as the best in the nation when it was awarded the State Association of the Year Award in 2004. In Texas, NRA relies on the strength of the Texas State Rifle Association and its membership to preserve our rights that are so clearly written into our Constitution. As a Texan and as an NRA member, we encourage you to strengthen the great State of Texas and join the TSRA today!
To join the TSRA, simply go to the web site at tsra.com, and click the link that says "Join Now!" Together, we can keep the Second Amendment in Texas safe and sound.
TSRA is the lobbying group for the RKBA in Texas. They are responsible for the progress made to date, and need our support in the future.

No, but does anybody know any reason why someone can't purchase a gift membership for someone else? I'm just thinkin' that I can find mailing addresses for any select anti-gun presidential contender as we get a little later in the 2008 race. I wonder if any of them might appreciate a complimentary, one-year membership in the TSRA?flintknapper wrote:Hmmmmmm, anyone know Michael Moore's address?

On a forum that I was a member of some years back, we bought a membership in the NRA for one of our staunchest anti-gun idiots.Skiprr wrote:Great idea!flintknapper wrote:A "junior membership" is nearly free ($3.00), it is an extremely affordable way to encourage/introduce our young ones to examine the TSRA.

The NRA has a provision for gift memberships on their web site. The TSRA doesn't, but you could print out the form and fill in the person's information, mail it with a check.

Something's wrong there. You should get a plastic membership card, a couple of stickers, a package of benefits information, and at least one letter a month with some kind of solicitation.stroo wrote:I have paid for an NRA membership, get one of the magazines but haven't received any other confirmation that the NRA considers me a member. I have thought that strange.
There have been years when I missed my NRA membership card. I figure I accidentally tossed it in the monthly bushel of (unread, unopened) junk mail NRA sends me.seamusTX wrote:Something's wrong there.

My first (late) wife joined AARP when she became eligible, and then found out about their anti-rights stance, so she quit and we harassed them until they refunded a portion of her first year membership fee.RPBrown wrote:Good for you Jim.
