I'll take a stab at this... First of all, many of us ARE a part of mainstream gun groups, in addition to being Pink Pistols members, so it's not a mutually exclusive thing. But to answer the implied question there - why does Pink Pistols exist at all - there are a number of reasons/benefits to...

Pink Pistols here! We are here! We are here! (Did everyone read Horton Hears a Who?) And yes, several of us have been here for awhile, altho it may not always be apparent because oftentimes we just talk about guns, rather than mentioning being gay (or being affiliated with a GLBT group)...

Wow! One of my members just passed this link on to me - I'm one of the co-founders of the Sacramento chapter of PP. Amazing!! We just recently had our first experience as a group in a gay event (the local Freedom Fair pride event here), and I had a TON of people come up to our booth (where...

IDPA "oops" Atek, I had an "oops" similar to yours - IDPA stage in which we were supposed to "rescue" our passed-out brother-in-law from the local pub. The B-in-law was, of course, a dummy we were supposed to drag behind cover as we moved from one position to another. Somehow, I managed to...

HS vs. COM Cool target combining the HS with COM. Of course, one of the difficult things about head shots vs. COM is that if you miss a HS (over the top or either side) it's a Mike, whereas for COM, it's generally just a down-1 hit.

my t-shirt Well, I know this one won't work for everyone, but my t-shirt says "Armed gays don't get bashed." I get LOTS of reactions (and a wide variety of them) with that one!

my experience I just got back from the 4-day handgun course at Front Sight, so I figured I'd add my 2 cents... Like Ed, I found making changes to my stance, grip, etc., a little frustrating, but I'm not as invested in my current techniques, I think, (nor do I shoot as well as Ed), and after...

Quote out of context? Hey Leatherneck, the whole quote is "The flash suppressor prevents the shooter from being blinded by the flash each time she shoots. This allows her to aim better by preventing that temporary blindness all of us experience when we suddenly look at a bright light." Is...

Pink Pistol here... Hey Jim, There was some mention of tying this in to Pink Pistol stuff as a way of "liberalizing" the PR that may be done around it. I am the co-founder of the Sacramento group, so if there is anything you need from me/us, say the word. Deanna.

Sensibility, at last! Thank God for this thread! I am a Pink Pistol, and I was becoming very disillusioned by other posters who think it's great that we're in the 2A fight, but don't think that we should be allowed the same rights as other folks. Nice to hear from a bunch of people who have...

Pink Pistol here... Well, I wasn't going to comment on this thread, because I found some of the attitudes expressed a bit disconcerting, but someone said "How many Pink Pistols here?" so I figured I'd better speak up... Regarding Pink Pistol participation, our Sacramento Chapter is up to 50+...

Good going! Just to insert my 2 cents - I understand what other folks are saying about being bumped up locally rather than at the state level - that can certainly put you in a world of hurt when you go up against the big boys! But for some perspective, the other master class shooters at this...

The Gun Room Another vote for the Gun Room. Not only are they friendly to women, they have been very welcoming to our Pink Pistols group. Mike even shoots with us most of the time. BTW, if this sister would like an inexpensive way to get a little experience with a handful of different...

Hey folks, I was excited to see this article posted here - yes, our little club is cruising right along! As you might imagine, the article has prompted quite a bit of local interest, so I think we'll be getting some new members soon. Funny how the Pink Pistols doesn't seem to attract gay...

Watch it... I gotta side with the "know thine enemy" fellows. I've found that even if you've done all the reading and know all the ways this film is BS, you can't make a credible argument when you end with, "but I haven't watched it." And make no mistake, this one "documentary" will likely...
