1. United Airlines as well

[Hugin]

2. Add a grocery store chain and I'm all set.

Glad they're at least trying to be responsible.

3. What's With All The Car Rental Joints?

Unless there was a rebate, was there enough revenue generated by offering discounts to NRA members that made it worth even doing it.

And, an Insurance Company? And insurance company gave discounts because somebody owns guns? That makes no sense, absent some actuarial legerdemain. (AKA: fudging the numbers.)

5. Chubb and Locton sold murder insurance for gun owners

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Really?

That's some business model there, huh? Murder insurance? For the victim, or the perpetrator?

If for the victim, isn't that just an AD&D policy?

[HAB911]

12. Insurance for the shooter

[ProfessorGAC]

13. I See

Concealed carry. Just in case some "hero" ends up shooting the wrong person.

[HAB911]

14. an entire industry has sprung up around

what to say and what to do when you kill someone, they even have handy wallet cards

[ProfessorGAC]

15. A Solution In Search Of A Problem, Perhaps?

Like, just don't shoot an innocent victim with a gun, might be a simpler solution.

4. The NRA talking point repeaters I know of,

don't use and probably never have used services from these companies.

Heck, I don't think all that many of them are actually NRA members.

[bullwinkle428]

6. I think your point confirms that only a tiny percentage of the NRA's $$

comes from the average "Joe Six-pack" gun owner. Most of it is coming from the manufacturers themselves, and other dark sources like Russia.

[Yonnie3]

7. Yes,

my implied point was that any harm to those entities would be minimal. My point certainly is supporting yours.

I've read that the NRA is multiple entities. One is a non-profit devoted to education. The rest seemed ill defined in the articles I read. Some of what they do is public knowledge. We don't know the whole story.

[RamblingRose]

8. Why do NRA members get discounts?

I was not aware that NRA members were 'entitled' to discounts. What is the logic behind this?

What other organizations offer these discounts (AARP)? I know a few companies give AAA members a discount but nothing on the scale of Delta.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

9. It's about enticing repeat customers

A fringe benefit of my job is that I get discounts at a number of local businesses. This benefits those local businesses because people are more likely to shop at their locations if they know they're getting a discount. My employer employs thousands of people. That's a lot of potential customers.

[Yonnie3]

10. A common thing.

"entitled", not so much, but minimal discounts are often available. My credit cards, Credit Union, Bank, professional groups and others have these, as well as AARP. These discounts are usually applicable only to the highest rates. When I traveled often for work, none of these were better than what a good travel agent or a few phone calls could do.

16. Usually not that great

I'm not familiar with how generous all of these discount were, but quite often they are not discounts off of the widely available rates. Usually they are off the "rack rate" for a hotel room, or a "full size car" at auto rentals. Airlines are often off of refundable tickets, or some higher priced tickets. My employer has dozens of these discounts available to us, and I rarely find them "worth while".
