2) Make a copy of your unexpired NRA membership card and attach it to the form (or copy or cut off the address label from a current NRA magazine) (absolutely no renewals accepted without proof of NRA membership) If you do not have access to a copier, or don't want to cut up your magazine cover, you may also take a good, well focused picture of your NRA proof of membership with a cell phone, digital camera etc. and email it, with your full name AND "credentials" in the subject line, to contact@gmsaclub.com - then proceed with 3 & 4 below.

You will receive your new key and yearly membership card for your wallet via return mail.  

Please allow ample time for your payment to arrive via US Mail, for it to be processed by our volunteers, and for it to get back to your mailbox. 


IN A WORST CASE SCENARIO, THIS COULD TAKE AS MUCH AS 4 WEEKS.  (GMSA is staffed by volunteers, we do not have any full time staff or employees - we check our PO box before club meetings; (first Monday of every month) so please allow at least 14 days AFTER a monthly meeting (1st Monday of the month), for your key to arrive in the mail).
