Hey everyone, I just wanted to give an update on how things are going. As of today I am officially done collecting data and I have removed the link from my original post. I want to give a big thanks to everyone that filled it out and passed it on.

This whole endeavor has been very successful so far I have gotten 226 responses. 150 male and 76 female!

We spent this evening at Anthony Arms Shooting range collecting some more female responses and I attached a few pics.



And of course the gun shaped cookies!

OK the rough draft is done and submitted. The final copy should be done by April 15. Here are the main takeaways of what I found:

The product adoption process has 5 steps. Females have significant difficutlies in all of the steps with the exception of awareness:

1.) Awareness - Good

2.) Interest - Females are less likely to purchase a firearm in the future than males and they have more difficulty in finding meaningful information on firearms than males.

3.) Evaluation - The vast majority of females identified personal protection as the main reason for purchasing a firearm, but at the same time do not feel that it has a relative advantage over other products such as pepper spray.

4.) Trial - Females find it extremely important to try a firearm before they buy it and that need is not being met.

5.) Adoption/Rejection - Because there are so many obstacles before this step most females don't even get this far and this is evidenced in the low number of firearms they own.
