I just tried it and they told me I had to be 65 or a disabled vet to qualify.
NRA Lifetime Memberships $300
Three possible ways to qualify:
1. Retired Veteran
2. Disabled Veteran
3. Be referred by a current lifetime member.
NRA Life Members can sign up "family members and relatives" for Life Membership for $300 each.
If you cannot get a current lifetime member to sponsor you, the cost to upgrade right now is $500. (a great savings from the regular $1000 price).
Here's how:
Call the NRA at 1-800-672-3888
Press 3 for the lifetime dept.
Tell them a relative suggested you upgrade to a lifetime membership for $300.
Give them the referring lifetime member's NRA #, give them your NRA info, give them your credit card info.
Quick and easy!
Do you need an Uncle who is a lifetime member? (I'll adopt ya for a day

)
