I was just reading the information above about the IWLA. Now, I ahve been around guns all my life and while I may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, I have never heard of the IWLA before. Not to mention that I have never, ever heard that organization mentioned when it comes to gun rights, legislation, lobbyists, etc. Name and brand recognition is a hallmark of the NRA and that carries alot of weight.

Now I am sure that the IWLA is a noble and jsut organization that wants to help preserve the 2nd ammendment and if that is your cup of tea, then so be it. There is still no reason you cannot be a member af the IWLA and the NRA.
