Pink Pistols

I think this is a great idea. People shouldnt be hated for who they love. If they have guns people wont mess with them. They need protection but no one is helping them to they need to do what they need to do.

This story made me realize that there are, sadly, some places our country that are not as accepting of individual differences. Personally I don't think an armed weapon would be ideal. think just displaying a unarmed weapon would have the same effect without having the potential of causing death. Hopefully as time goes on, compassion for others will become widespread over-shadow the negative energy out there.

Fading Chaos, people often think it would be great to use an unloaded gun to bluff their way out of a dangerous situation. It really isn't.

In real life, bluffing is a very bad idea. You have no way of knowing whether the people who want to hurt you are even capable of understanding the deterrent you're trying to use. If you don't want to use a weapon to protect yourself, you're better off doing without. If you want to use a weapon to protect yourself, you need to be able to use it, willing to use it, and know when it's necessary and when it's not.

One more thing: if anyone out there is thinking of joining Pink Pistols, remember that there are no dues and no registration. If you say you're a member, you're a member. There's no requirement that you be gay, straight, or whatever, either.

There's also no requirement that you be a shooter or a gun owner. If you've never touched a gun before and you want to know more, get in touch with your local Pink Pistols chapter and ask if someone can take you shooting. As long as you don't mind sitting through some talking about safety first, someone will be glad to help out.

Not sure what dream world the anti-gun commenter in this vid is living in. Does she actually believe that law enforcement can protect us from the criminal element before any wrong-doing occurs in most cases? Clueless. Give me an effin break. I'll continue to use my right to bear and permit to carry firearms. thank you very much.

i'm not a gun nut, but it only makes since for the most persecuted & criminalized groups of people should know how to protect themselves.
guns are wild, but a lot of the problems arise because so many of the people that have them are not well versed in how to use them. if gangs & other criminals knew how to shoot maybe there wouldn't be any more stray bullets killing babies & gandmas!
i always thought that @ least all women should should pack heat just in case, but everyone deterring persecution by being armed still does nothing to address the root cause off the problem. flashing chrome to bigots will probably only give more fuel to their ignorance......& for the record i think that we should all know how to use weapons to feel comfortable around them not that we should all be strapped just in case.

Thugs and bigots don't pick on people with gun. They have to disarm them first.

If women had guns, rapists would have nothing.
