Hi Everyone -
So as many (most?) of you know, I am writing my PhD dissertation on Michigan's very active gun-rights community. This is not least because of the open carry movement in Michigan...
As part of this research, I've developed an online survey for gun-rights enthusiasts and activists. It is up and running at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/michigangunrights
The survey asks questions about your background with firearms, activism, gun-rights politics, open carry versus conceal carry and demographics. Even if I've already interviewed you, I'd greatly appreciate if you'd be willing to take the time to do this survey. It is a little long, but since there is so little good data out there on gun-rights activists, I strongly believe that your time will be well-spent.
If you have any questions about me, you can check out my (not super updated) blog at secondsmatter.blogspot.com. You can also see me on a few of the Saturday Afternoon Shootout shows if you feel like digging around on Flint Talk Radio's website. And of course, you can always PM me with any questions you might have!
Also, I would *greatly* appreciate it if you'd be willing to send out the link to your activist friends (there is a survey question on how people learned about the survey, so I should be able to track this, but please feel free to keep me updated on who you are sending it along to, as well). Also, if you run a blog or news site and you'd be willing to post the link, I'd be happy to send you a short write-up of my project (as well as be ever so grateful!).
