SWIRE - I will shoot you a PM shortly.
The Friends of the NRA is a separate 501c3 charity. We legally cannot engage in standard NRA activities like recruiting NRA members or politics at Friends events. We have some politicians who attend, but they attend as themselves not as candidates. Not our rules thats all laid out by the IRS rules for 501c3 charities.
Of course if you personally happen to have a petition in your back pocket and make some friends during dinner and get signatures thats probably cool just no official endorsement or activity at FNRA can be related to the NRA, NRA-ILA, or politics.
