"Thirty-one states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed
weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized
efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and
carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor
shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they
should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

We did. There are now over 45 Pink Pistols chapters nationwide, and more are starting up every day. 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. The Pink Pistols get together at least once a month at local firing ranges to practice shooting, and to acquaint people new to firearms with them. We will help you select a firearm, acquire a permit, and receive proper training in its safe and legal use for self-defense. The more people know that members of our community may be armed, the less likely they will be to single us out for attack. Join us today. It is your RIGHT.
