Michigan Gun Rights Survey Needs Your Input

Dear Gun-Rights Activists and Enthusiasts:

A friend of mine - Jenny Carlson - is writing her PhD dissertation on gun-rights activism in Michigan. As part of her research, she has developed an online survey for gun-rights enthusiasts and activists. It is live and running at the following link:

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. It is a little long, but since there is so little good data out there on gun-rights activists, she strongly believes that your time will be well spent.

Also, she would *greatly* appreciate it if you'd be willing to send out the survey link to your activist networks. There is a survey question that asks how people learned about the survey. Thus, she'll be able to track this, but please feel free to keep her updated as to who you are sending it along to, as well.

Also, if you run a blog or news site and you're be willing to post the link, she'd be happy to send you a short write-up of her project.

If you have any questions, you'd like answered before participating, contact her:
