The results are in!
First of all please understand that this poll's margin of error is +/- 50% (NOT!)
But, it is a very casual poll generated by pure curiosity.
The tallies from 73 respondants are as follows:
1. Are you self-employed:
Yes:19 No:54
2. What is your age:
Greatest years of experience: 67 (GLV)
Fewest years of experience: 17 (Andy)
Average age: 39.7
Total represented years of experience from respondants: 2897
3. How many years of schooling beyond high school do you have? (For those of you who just put degrees, I entered a "number of years" value for them, so this certainly has more of an error factor.)
Most years of formal education beyond high school: 9 (Walt Welch)
Least years of formal education beyond high school: -1 (Andy)
Average years of college education: 3.5
Total years of college education: 258.5
4. What particular set of beliefs do you subscribe to? (Christian, Athiest, Jewish, etc...)
This question, of course, recieved a wide variety of answers. I'm listing them with the number of respondants. Because Christianity spans so many different religions, those I was not familiar with I list individually.
Humanist: 1
Pantheist: 1
Philosophist: 1
Naturalist: 1
Wican/Pagan: 1
Agnostic: 2
Diest: 2
Athiest: 3
None: 14
Christian: 47
5. What is your main reason for your interest in the "Gun" topic?
I should have known that there be more than one answer for most of the respondants!
Hobby: 39
2nd Amendement: 35
Self Defense: 22
Family Tradition: 14
Hunting: 4
Job: 3
Education: 1
History: 1
Insanity: 1 (thanks Mikey!)
And lastly:
6. Have you served in the military?
Yes: 36 No: 35
Oops, I'm missing 2... Oh well. Like I said, "An Informal Poll."
