ej,

I am not sure what the problem is with getting a SHC started, but it just seems like an up hill battle for some unknown reason. This class makes more since than just about any other. Now as far as the Surveys go.....I am not sure how anyone would even know that a survey is being conducted. I knew about it from this web site and even had a hard time locating the survey sheets. Most of the shooters I talked with were not even aware of the survey. I can remember a survey taken a few years back and you werenotified at registration of the survey. It just looks to me like the powers to be don't want a successful turn out on this issue. JMHO
