Scott Butler Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Why is it mandatory for USPSA/IPSC shooters, that want to get classified, to be forced to give money to the NRA? I can understand becoming a member of USPSA/IPSC, but the NRA..... If it's for insurance or something, why can't the IPSC/USPSA get in on this requirement? Scott (Just wondering?)

No.343 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 That's probably a club requirement, not an USPSA requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Butler Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 That's probably a club requirement, not an USPSA requirement. I think it's more then just the club nearest to me, as I was asked to see my NRA card at three other ranges. But I'm glad to know that USPSA probably doesn't require this.

B Some clubs, including mine, require it because the NRA is, by far, the most effective organization supporting our continued right to keep and bear arms. Without them, I strongly suspect there would be no IPSC, USPSA, IDPA or any other shooting organization in the US. We all would have been disarmed years ago. I don't always agree with the NRA, but the things we do agree on are far more important than those we don't agree on. YMMV. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBunin Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've never been asked for my NRA card and I don't believe I have any idea where it is. OTOH, I'd be shocked if our club is less than 95% NRA members. Perhaps it's something that started with one local club and the rest thought it was a good idea?

lynn jones Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) some clubs require you to be a member because the have a nra liability insurance policy. our club does have one. lynn Edited January 11, 2007 by lynn jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganShootist Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) +1 on the value of the NRA... even if they do get a little "nuts" once in a while. I probably shot at least 13 different clubs last year (maybe 20) and have never been asked to see an NRA, IDPA, or USPSA card. Not once.
