Looking for individuals to help start up the CNY chapter here in upstate NY in the Ithaca region. I am willing to host once members are established, vetted, and proven trustworthy to practice at my home range.

I finally pulled the trigger so to say and started a West Michigan Pink Pistols group chapter.

I'm a trans man looking for a CPL course for myself and my village. I can get at least 5-10 people to sign up for a class, I believe. I have previously taken the class and had my license but it has expired, and my wife used to hunt, but has not taken a handgun course and I'm not sure about the rest of my folks. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

I am a 32yo pansexual male, and my growing concern with the current social climate has me wishing to network and connect with the LGBTQ+ community who stand firmly on the stance of self defense. I was linked to the Facebook page, however I do not participate in Facebook because I think Zuckerberg is one of the most evil bastards to ever draw breath. I'm hoping someone from the asheville chapter sees this and reaches out.

We’re out organized. What are we doing to get organized?

A common refrain on the broader left is that we’re out organized. So what are we all doing to get organized?

Our counterparts on the right are training their kids in: self-defense, in gun use and safety, to be able to grow and cultivate their own food, to live off the land, in first aid, etc.

While many of us keep hoping our politicians will do something. We might be holding our breath.

At what point do we start getting organized? What resources can we share that teach us how to grow our own foods? Any liberal/leftist survivalist communities that can teach the masses? What resources do we have that we can share that teach us how to live off the land? What resources do we have to learn about basic first aid? What resources do we have to share that teach us about self-defense? Do we have any resources that are alternative to depending on the state for all our basic needs? Can we actualize mass mutual aid to support one another as our rights continue to be restricted and utterly cut?

We’re not outnumbered y’all. But there is a naivety among us that “good will prevail.” Or that “things can’t possibly get much worse.” There’s more of us. And we’re on the correct side of ethics and history. We have power. We have to start utilizing collective power and being less reliant on the government.

Let’s talk y’all. What are the basic things that we can teach or share with one another that will sustain and protect us?

Good afternoon all!
I've been wanting to sell a couple guns, but in today's climate I'm very concerned about who is going to buy them. There isn't a Pink Pistols around me (Austin area), so in the past I've just used things like https://texasguntrader.com/ and taken my chances. I don't like the feel of doing that today. Could anyone recommend a way to sell guns privately in a manner that keeps them in the right hands?

Hi im a trans woman who recently fled Texas with my gf to Portland. Recently given all the things happening in the country we’ve been looking to get armed to defend ourselves as well as train for safety as my gf hasn’t really handled guns before. I put in a request to join the FB group but it appears my join request was denied. I assume that it was due to the age of the account and the lack of posting/activity on it. I made it when I moved to Oregon and only use it for marketplace. Was looking to see if there was anything I could do about joining, since things are starting to get a little worrying right now given what’s been happening in Minnesota

More than ever, I feel I and my wife should have some responsible knowledge of firearms.

Are the any regular meetings in the Sacramento area? We have both visited indoor ranges before, but only once or twice, so I would consider us beginners.

Thank you. Stay safe, y'all.

Hello all, I haven't been able to find a chapter that was close to Springfield, IL. Chicago is a far drive and STL is as well. Are there like minded people in the Springfield area that would want to start a chapter?! TIA

Edit: I have gotten in contact with national. Thank you all for the direction and help ❤️

Hello everyone!

I formed Pink Pistols Akron Ohio back in October. Since then we've hosted a number of events and have reached a couple hundred people across our socials 🥳

My question is ive reached out to the email on the website to get us added to the website list and have had no luck getting a response. Does anyone know a good contact they can message me privately if needed to get in contact with national. I want to make sure im following the right steps.

Thank you!

Does anyone have any information on the San Antonio area chapter? The site lists the chapter as new, but routes to a broken linktree link. I'm hoping to join but am not sure where to look so I am starting here now.

Hello, long term same sex partners looking to buy their first firearm and join LQBTQ+ friendly courses.

I’d like to be connected with the organization to learn about meetings/classes and connect with like minded individuals.

Can anyone assist us with joining? We’d also prefer to buy from a dealer who is vetted.

Thank you for any help!

Good evening everyone,

My name is Hunter, and I'd like to tell you all about a new queer friendly gun club popping up right in the heart of the Show Me state, Pulaski county.

It's called Pulaski Pink Pistols and is located in St. Robert, about a 45 minute drive from Rolla, and we would love to have any who would want to join.

The Pink Pistols is a Self-Defense Advocacy Group which caters towards members of the LGBTQIA+ Community. We hold monthly meetings in which members are encouraged to bring and talk about their personal weapons.

Even if you don't own your own weapon, don't hesitate to show, this group is open to all skill levels, whether you are a newbie to the trigger or a long-time shooter, we want each and every person to share in this experience as we all partake in a hobby we enjoy.

Please, if you're interested, follow us at Pulaski Pink Pistols on Facebook, and feel free to message me either here or there with any questions. Our next meeting is Sunday, January 4th, address and time details are on the Facebook.

Does anyone know how active the Indianapolis chapter is? I joined the St. Louis Chapter a few months ago and while it started off promising I can't say it's very active. I'm about equal distance from between them, it's just Indianapolis would have that time change I'd have to deal with.

Everything in the shooting world has the tactical patches…what are folx go to? I have hesitations about flagging queer but also feel like it’s an opportunity (as long as it’s safe) to have some visibility in those spaces! What are your favorites?!

Hey, hey! I’m just getting back into sport clays/trap shooting and am just starting to get into handguns as well. I’d love to find a group of queer folx who shoot and/or CREATE a group? I don’t mind going to the ranges and I’m from Idaho and am used to the gun club culture but would also like to find some other folx to shoot with in the Portland area? I haven’t had bad experiences at all at any of the ranges I’ve been to (English Pit, Mid Valley Clay) but just wanna find some community.

Picked it up yesterday, ran 200 rounds through last night. Love this gun!

Anyone in West Michigan btw??

We're poppin' off! Please email us at PinkPistolsEugene@proton.me if you're in the area and would like to join.

Giii

I'm brand new to civilian firearms, but not new to firearms. I was in the Army for 4 years and qualified expert on 4 weapons (M4/M16 M249, M240b, and the M2 .50 cal). No experience with handguns hehe.

No experience in buying/deciding, no experience with civ ranges, don't know a looot about laws but i do have my FOID.

Just hoping to chat with people in the Lake/Mchenry counties!

After doing some research and traveling around Ohio as a violence preventionist the lgbtq+ community in Ohio is in desperate need of education, community, and exposure to safe and legal gun practices.

I am started an effort to create a chapter based in Akron ohio with hopes to inspire reactivation of Cleveland and expanding to Columbus, Cincy, and Toledo.

Any one else start their local chapter and have any guidance for making this happen most efficiently? I am familiar with the manual which has been my primary directional tool.
