      The dog definitely gets her cut as well as the organs and gizzard. She eats better than me most days! It's interesting how we tend to name our dogs, mine is named for a star wars character. Thanks for the prayers! Hope you're having an awesome Thanksgiving!

      You are correct there. But identifying other transplant candidates is difficult because that information is not public. I suppose I could go to support groups/forums but that seems kind of exploitative. I don't know... Really, honestly, I'd rather not spend all my time researching and talking...

      Thanks for participating! My study is limited to Maryland gun owners. And the variation in gun culture by location is something I would like to examine and part of why demographic info is helpful. Ultimately my thesis is an examination of who makes up the "gun culture" in Maryland and why we are...

      It would definitely be an interesting paper - it would be extremely difficult however, given HIPA laws. Thanks for the good vibes!

      Thanks! And the cool dog thanks you too- although she's pretty busy drooling next to my turkey fryer. I love my CZs (obviously), I have a SP-01 and a shadow 2 (the one in the pictures). They were the first handguns that just felt 'right' in my hand. I used to own a Glock 17 but the grip just...

      I personally agree with your re-tooling of my previous statement. In terms of my thesis, I have to attempt to be as detached from my own feelings and beliefs about the subject matter as possible (thus my phrasing of "their" instead of "our"). Basically, I'm spite of personally agreeing with...

      Thanks for your reply, it is very helpful! No identifying information will be used in the final study and if you would like access to the final thesis just let me know! It should be ready for submission in late January.

      Sure - the point of this study is not to use data points or statistics to necessarily draw conclusions. (Eg. If gun sales go up by 3%, violent crime decreases by 2%) An anthropological study is more about describing a group of people (in my case Maryland gun owners) and analyzing aspects of...

      You missed my Trump doormat in the photo. Being in Montgomery County I had a visceral "shit I shouldn't have posted that" reaction until I remembered where I was. Ha

      Anthro Study Take Two

      Interestingly, I agree with your changes. I am using the definition listed as it is the dictionary definition of a 'gun'. I am also trying to keep from getting too technical as many of the people who will be reading this study have more experience with spaceships than they do with any actual...

      Anthro Study Take Two

      I would count anything that my college classmates would be terrified of. So you might as well put squirt guns in there too. No but really, to keep this simple for the intended audience (primarily a panel of professors) I am using the definition "a weapon incorporating a metal tube that propels...

      What national gun rights org??

      This is a great post. I'm a lifetime member of the NRA but I've definitely been disappointed in them recently. I too am open to any suggestions for national 2A organizations deserving of support.

      You and Blacksmith101 are, indeed, on to something. My paper is not a statistical or purely scientific one. It is an anthropological study. So while demographic data is extremely helpful, my paper is actually more about what Ammo Jon refers to as 'BGOS' and how we tend to react to outsiders and...

      I do know that, thank you. I just didn't want to locate this post anywhere else and clog up the forum. If you think there's a better place, please let me know.

      Yep. Because there's *NO WAY* I'm actually just a female gun collector/ enthusiast. I forgot, we don't actually exist. Man, I thought I was a cynical ******* but some of you guys out here really take the cake, so to speak. Doesn't matter if I post actual photos of myself or anything. You've got me.

      Thank you to anyone who has replied to the poll so far! It is very helpful. Look out for more to come, I'm intending to space then out so as not to flood the forum.
