Survey Request for The Competitive Shooting Community
NRA is looking for specific information on the treatment of the shooting community by airlines, airports and the TSA. Based on information to date there appear to be patterns at specific airports and with specific airlines. In order to clearly identify the airlines and airports that are doing it right and doing it wrong we need your help. We are asking competitive shooters because your community has some issues, interests and needs that differ from other gun owners.
We need information on your experiences traveling with guns for competitive shooting events only – both good and bad. Specifically, we would like to know:
• The airport where the experience occurred.
• If your comments are about an airline identify the air carrier and if it was with counter personnel or baggage.
• If the experience was with TSA.
• If your experience was with local law enforcement or private airport security separate from TSA please identify the department or company to the best of your recollection.
• In some instances more than one player may be involved so please separate what each participant did or did not do – be specific
• Again, we want both good and bad experiences.
What we will & will not do with this information:
• We will gather the information into a report.
• We intend to use the report to attempt to correct poor performers and this is where the people who got it right are important. We want to be able to show airlines, airports and branches of TSA can do their jobs and respect our rights at the same time.
• We will not put any personal information provided by you into the report but we need to be able to follow up and confirm what you tell us.
• We cannot accept anonymous information. The strength or the final product will be in its verifiability.
