Welcome to /r/pinkpistols, an unofficial home for the Pink Pistols group. Please review our rules and guidelines before posting or commenting.

 

From the official Pink Pistols Utility Manual:

We are dedicated to the legal, safe, and responsible use of firearms for self-defense of the sexual-minority community. We no longer believe it is the right of those who hate and fear gay, lesbian, bi, trans, or polyamorous persons to use us as targets for their rage. Self-defense is our RIGHT.

"Our purpose is to advocate self-defense of the sexual minority community. We do NOT involve ourselves in other issues, such as gay marriage, gay rights, the size or structure of government, political parties, nor do we champion causes such as AIDS awareness or the decriminalization of sex work. We stay focused on our specific goal. There are lots of other organizations advocating for these other causes. Rather than divide our energies as an organization, we instead suggest that our members belong to multiple organizations, as befits their consciences. We do NOT conflate our name with the other causes and movements, of whatever political stripe."

Arizona

Greetings I am a 55 year old straight black man. My sister lives in Arizona with her girlfriend.

A couple of weeks after the election I spoke with her and suggested she may want to arm herself.

She said they she and her gf had talked about. While I am not a gun owner I am not totally ignorant about guns. I said she may want to consider an EDC and and possibly a shot gun (Semi-Auto) because she may have problems using a pump.

I also mentioned a new gun isn't necessarily better than an used one. I told her the most important thing was to train on whatever weapon she decides to buy and stay in contact with her friend group.

My question is are there any members of the Arizona chapter in this group and how active is that chapter?

I am on the other side of the country and I want to make sure she and her girlfriend are safe and surrounded by support.

Any help and information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks 🤜🤛✌️🤝✊️

I've been asked over and over since the election how to buy a gun and what guns are best for beginners, especially by queer folk who see the worst incoming. So I put together an emergency episode that I think a lot of y'all will have someone who could do with seeing it:

Anyone been able to get a response from Operation Blazing Sword recently?

I've been trying since the end of June to get a response about training from at least one of the listed trainers in my state. I messaged briefly with the moderator of the OBS Facebook group who said they would see what is happening, but I've gotten nothing but silence there for weeks as well. I know that organizations that depend on volunteers deserve a lot of patience, but at a certain point it starts to look like OBS, like many other organizations that start in social media, may have evaporated and left little but their name and logo behind.

Anyone around Hoboken/JC area?

Beginner here, looking for queer folks who are in Hoboken/JC area that could help out teaching basics, possibly go to shooting range together. I’m interested in getting more comfortable around firearms with goal of getting a handgun for self defense.

I had experience shooting as a kid, but have not held a gun in 10+ years.

First gun purchase. Background check delayed, is this normal?

Newbie here. I just purchased my first rifle. Finally bought my own, and they said my background check is delayed, they said that "in a week or so, usually" they'll know whether I can take it home or not. I'm in oregon btw and I'm wondering if anyone here could tell me if A) is this a normal thing? B) why would my bg check get delayed? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: my background check finally cleared, after 8 friggin days!

(M) Proposing as an idea that people on this sub go to other women-majority subs and bring more women over to this subreddit and the website overtime

The only way women will able to protect themselves is for you all to be able to protect yourselves and each other by encouraging others to come join your movement and get trained since society, courts, and police are failing you. I'm doing what I can to support your efforts & my girlfriend to be her own person that can hold her own but it takes quite a few people to prevent more future disasters. Peace, love, and prosperity to all of you!! You will, & are accomplishing amazing things!!!! I believe in you!!!!

Anyway I can reach out to someone In a leadership position?

I've reached out via email.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/s/t2fO8dc7I9

That post is for context.

I am trying to raise awareness and make sure people in this area of South Georgia vote blue this election.

Our democratic party meets in a few weeks, and I'd like to have a viable plan of action by then.

I've been reaching out to activist groups. We have a lot of liberal/ progressive people (particularly minorities, lgbtq+ members, and Yount women)

We just need to get people to care.

Inherited a not quite dead group

Hello I organized a shoot in a not quite dead pink pistols group. The old admin reached out and handed it over to me after so now I guess I run my local chapter.

I'm looking for a few things.

Any suggestions on things your chapter has organized that we're good to get people active either online or in person?

Any trainings that worked really well for your group?

How did you build a mod team?

Suggestions?

I am developing weakness in my hands due to early osteoarthritis in my hands. Can anyone suggest a weapon with a more optimal trigger system for this? I have a pistol but I can only practice for a few minutes and then it hurts too much.
