Pink Pistols local (Pittsburgh) chapter?

I was looking at the site but couldn't find much info for the Pittsburgh area. They have a mailing list thing through Yahoo but I couldn't get it to work.


I wanted to send a personal invitation to any Pink Pistols member to swing by the group shoot or to tour PMSC some weekend but didn't see a good way to get in touch with anyone. I figure with pure probability someone on the forum would know how. Gun owners should always look to form bonds especially in times like these.

Check with Lil dobe, I recall him saying in chat that he was working on getting that group together.

There is a forum member here that is also a member of pink pistols.....damn, I can't remember his name (senior hours)

Maybe he'll surface and speak up.

Does owning a hot pink XD get you an honorary membership?

The Pittsburgh chapter of Pink Pistols is sadly disorganized and inactive. I've been trying to drum up some interest in a group shoot or something similar, but I've yet to be able to get a few non-committal "maybes" from one or two members.

Eventually though, we'll get things moving!

At one time Gays on the range felt very alone and not very safe. You feel that way around red-neck, tobacco chewing, pick-up truck driving hicks.

Now I never see that. Now it is rare to not get a warm welcome. But the image of gun owners in the liberal world and the Gay Community is still that bad. Gay Gun clubs like the Pink Pistols offer a gateway into the gun community.

Once they are coming to the range they usually find a friendly warm welcome and no longer need the Pink Pistols. In the Bucks County area we meet at Classic Pistol in Southampton once a month. I find myself welcomed at a lot of closer ranges. My yearly membership at the range out here is cheaper than the fee for a trip to Classic.

The same can be happening in the Pittsburgh.

Okay, that works for me.



Let me know when you are ready to drum up support, I'll lend you a hand.

I would like to join a local pink pistols chapter, but the last post as of 2007 indicates they are no longer active, and with the national page being under construction, as of tonight, I'm really not finding much to go on. How can I learn more about the organization and begin working with the organization? I really need to learn more about holsters and proper technique. Does anyone know how I can learn more?

Nicki on Calguns.net and Gray Peterson on that site and MDShooters.com are the two best people I know of to get in touch with. The organization needs a lot of help from as many good people as we can get.
