Hi all,

We are conducting a research project on gun ownership in the American Midwest and are looking for people who would be interested in talking with us.

PARTICIPATION IN THIS RESEARCH IS ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY.

Requirements to participate are as follows:

Self-identify as a gun owner

Be a US citizen

Be an English Speaker

Be non-active-duty military

Be between the ages of 18 and 64

Reside in MI, MN, ND, WI, IN, IA, OH, or SD

This is a sociological study of gun ownership in the Midwest. This is an exploratory study, meaning we are not looking to prove/test any hypotheses, nor are we intending to evaluate or judge you in any way; rather, we are eager to learn from you through your sharing of your stories, thoughts, feelings, and experiences. 

Maintaining confidentiality is of top priority for us. At no point in this research process will we use or share any personal information that could identify you.  

Participation in this study is entirely voluntary, and you may choose to discontinue your participation at any time.

Level of participation can be proportional to level of interest: Anything from a 30-minute chat to multiple, multi-hour interviews is possible. 

If you are interested or have any insights or questions, please respond below or directly message this account.

Thank you!

EDIT: We can provide more information about ourselves upon inquiry, likely by direct message.
