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).
Anyway, let me say thanks so much for the enthusiastic welcome. Having been a member here for some months, I have to say that The High Road crowd has exhibited "high road" behavior all along - I know that I have felt welcome here from the get-go, so I thank you for that too.
Frohickey asked whether any of our chapters are active - from context, I think he meant politically active. I know that there is a small chapter in SF, tho I don't know if they are politically active. I am the co-founder of our Sacramento chapter, and I testifed on behalf of our group at a Senate hearing on the ammo-tax bill. (I told them that we needed lots of practice to ensure that we would be able to defend ourselves from the gay-bashers...)
In any case, if you are politically active yourself and would like to try to solicit some activity from a local chapter, you can find contact info for most of the chapters on the main PP web site -
www.pinkpistols.org - use the pulldown menu to select "find a chapter."
Finally, before I sign off, let me extend an invitation to any of you High Road members who may find yourself in the Sacramento area to come out
and shoot with us. We shoot twice a month - PM me for details if you're interested, or e-mail
