Kyle,
Given the gun fascination of your country you may well be onto a major book 
project. Quite frankly I'd be very quick to put the idea and some photos 
before a major publisher immediately! Acquire a contract and large advance 
to cover travel etc and make this the project of the next 6 months or so 
touring the country.

As you say, in the matter of a few days you have hundreds of e-mails from 
potential participants, so if you don't move your ass right smartly someone 
else will be on it like wild fire and you'll loose a great book release and 
idea!

As I said above, "Given the gun fascination and laws of your country" a book 
of this nature can't miss, it could possibly become a best seller.

If you don't get cracking I don't want to come back and say..."I told you 
so!" when someone else beats you to "the gun!" ;-)
