I have heard a rumour that we have a NRA northern representative but I don't have any evidence to support that.

Because I'd rather the NRA concentrate on their main task right now (bearing in mind previous performance), which is promoting target shooting...though don't forget that one of the benefits if membership is legal advice and help with firearm related issues.

I'm not going to object to them doing what they can though, and was pleased to see the Daily Telegraph petition on the NRA homepage...something that some of their critics may not have realised...
I wasn't aware of that myself.

You say 'we'...are you an individual member of the NRA?

I'm assuming that your club is affiliated - Has your club ever had an issue that they contacted their rep about, but was not given help at all?...My club down here got some assistance from our rep resolving an issue with the MOD at our local range...

Are you in the North West or the North East? If the the answer is yes, then yes you have a NRA Regional rep, there is one for each of the regions. If you don't know who it is contact them off the NRA Website.
Are you a member of the NRA? Is you club affiliated? If the answer to these questions are yes then you know how to contact your rep. If the answer is no, then no you do'nt have a rep as you do'nt deserve one. Why should the NRA represent shooters who are not prepared to join?
