Personally, I think the "easy pay' life membership is best. Payments are $25 a month until its paid off. The way I saw it was assuming I dont get hit by a bus or something, spending $25-$35 per year would add up to more than my life membership in the long run, so.....
Also, as many arent aware (I wasnt at first), Veterans with ANY amount of disability rating (you dont have to be receiving any money from it, just be ANY % disabled according to the VA) get a discount on life memberships of I think mine was 50%!! Also, I was specifically told it is on the "honor system" by NRA policy, so they dont require you sending in any sensitive (or otherwise) ocuments or anything that may have discouraged some from doing so.Just tell them you are a diabled Vet when you call (I'm NOT suggesting anyone lie, as that is disgusting and offensive to ALL Vets IMHO.Just informing disabled vets who may not know about this.)
