    Gotta love the carefully worded statements. I didn't join the NRA nor pay to become an instructor because of hunting or anything to do with hunting.

    I think the NRA suffers from Munchhausen Syndrome


    Munchausen syndrome is a factitious disorder, a mental disorder in which a person repeatedly and deliberately acts as if he or she has a physical or mental illness when he or she is not really sick. Munchausen syndrome is considered a mental illness because it is associated with severe emotional difficulties.May 18, 2016

    Yeti or the NRA. who do you believe.

    Below NRA email I just received.

    ALERT ! YETI Adds Insult to Injury
    If it wasn’t bad enough that YETI dropped The NRA Foundation as a client, now they’re calling us liars because we informed our members and friends of their actions.

    The NRA Foundation has over 1,100 “Friends of NRA Committees” around the country. These committees host banquets and auctions that are attended by hundreds of thousands of guests each year. These events raise funds to support charitable causes and programs. The NRA Foundation supports the needs of youth programs for education, safety and training, as well as law enforcement needs, shooting ranges and conservation programs.

    For many years we have purchased coolers from YETI for our auctions. We have auctioned off many thousands of YETI coolers each year. YETI recently dropped The NRA Foundation as a client. Not only would they not take our orders for more coolers, they forced us to cancel orders already in the system that they said they would not fill.

    Three days after we notified you of YETI’s decision to drop The NRA Foundation, YETI issued their prepared statement in which they admit they dropped us but claim they simply eliminated the discount program and dropped other (unnamed) organizations as well. That’s news to us.

    Perhaps the people writing YETI’s damage control statements are not talking to the people who enforced YETI’s decisions and refused our orders. We had even offered the YETI Roadie in one of our sponsorship levels for 2018 – which we’ve had to cancel.

    We told you the truth.

    YETI’s attempts at damage control is to say our statement is not accurate. Shame on you again YETI. You know you made a mistake. A big one. Now you must live with your mistake.

    I choose to believe the NRA especially in this case because there is not one reason that I can think of why they would want to alienate a corporate "sponsor". It just does not make sense! Furthermore, it is not like NRA was being GIVEN Yeti coolers to auction off. It clearly states that they were PURCHASED. This is just another case of poorly thought out PC accommodation by a corporation with no thought given to the repercussions. As for me, no more of anything from Yeti, and I have advised my contacts that they should do likewise.

    I got an email a couple of days ago that Academy on-line had the Yeti Roadie on sale for $154 shipped. Normally I would have bought one but I think it’s time that we as gun-owners remind corporations who it is that keeps them prosperous.
    It’s not the left. It’s the sportsmen, the hunters and fishermen who are generally conservatives.
    I’ve got one Yeti and one Rtic. I can’t tell any difference in quality and performance.
    The Rtic is much cheaper and they support the 2nd Amendment so I will be supporting them from now on.
