B) I realize the NRA is a fund raising organization. If I get a lifetime membership, are they going to be houding me like mad for donations? The last time I was a member, I got sick of their constant phone calls and mail drops. I don't mind making a good size yearly donation, but I hate people soliciting my constantly. Do they have an 'opt out' for solicitations if you are a member?

A. Yes, it's really a lifetime membership. I became a life member decades ago.
B. Yes, you will be hounded for donations. Most often through the mail, but the occasional phone call as well. It's easy to just say no...although I do donate to their ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) fund.
