Depends what's more important to you - the support of a group who shares a common interest and concern, or showing intolerance towards a group who is different but isn't shoving that difference down your throat.

(A) Who you sleep with is none of my business.
(B) If you don't think we need every single bit of help we can get, you don't understand the situation. As far as making it "complicated" for gun groups...I think it'll make it a far sight more complicated for the liberals. |

Unfortunate metaphor, but I tend to agree.. Excellent point about the liberals, Celt. |

It also helps break down the stereotype that we are a bunch of camo-wearing, toothless, dirty morons who run around the woods murdering small animals. We need a diverse group of gun owners in all walks of life to be as vocal as possible.
By the way, no offense intended to any camo-wearing, toothless, dirty morons who run around the woods murdering small animals. |

First, I'd like to say that I'm pleased and surprised by the responses to this point. I had expected (based on comments in other threads) to see the typical homophobic comments. I'm your basic caucasian heterosexual male, and I don't happen to feel threatened by the existence of homosexuals. I don't understand, in fact, why the entire homosexual community doesn't support the Pink Pistols group given the obvious hostility of a small minority against them. As Celt said, who you sleep with ain't my business.
But this was perfect: Quoted: It also helps break down the stereotype that we are a bunch of camo-wearing, toothless, dirty morons who run around the woods murdering small animals.

I've posted about them here before. I first heard the name mentioned on the Jay Leno show during one of his opening monologues. Took a look around on the web and found their webpage, I've got absolutely no problem with them and welcome them to our side of the fight.
There aren't too many groups out there who so blatantly defy the typical stereotype the media has set forth where all gun owners are "low class redneck militants", when this group enters the scene suddenly there is little basis for making those claims or being able to successfully get away with such claims. This group only helps to prove that gun owners make up every segment of society and that firearms ownership can truely be a good thing. Personally I think it's refreshing to see. Check out their logo, something that isn't quite so obvious but once you figure it out it is something that you can kinda respect. |

So we get permits, get trained, get armed, and carry responsibly and wisely...and hope we never have to use them. But we will if we MUST. Because we're as deserving of happy, safe lives as anyone else! --- Gwen (da lesbian gun-nut) |

Lady ArdRhi, Welcome to the wonderful world of The Black Rifle. Hope you enjoy your travels here. I pretty sure that you'll find that everyone here shares equal views on the 2nd admendment. As a word of warning....you will also find that quite a few also enjoy envoking the 1st amendment....which is not necessarily a bad thing. Just be ready for it, and exercise your own 1st amendment rights in return! |

It looks like a witty and erudite crew hereabouts. *grin* I don't *always* talk about firearms, though I do like to talk about my babies...my FEG PJK-9HP is my favorite...dead-on accurate and sweet to shoot, and my little .32 H&R Magnum revolver (for carry) is multiple-head-shot accurate at 10 yards, short barrel and all. I've got my pushbutton gun-safe on the wall next to the head of the bed, with magnets inside to hold my guns secure. Now I'm hoping for a nice .30 M1 carbine...I had fun shooting one at a 2nd Amendment Sisters Ladies' Day shoot, and want to get one of my own someday. Hey, I *did* say I was a gun NUT, after all! *blush* |

I've actually had far more trouble with a local bisexual group than with other firearms groups, even fairly conservative ones. The bisexual group was shocked to the point of apoplexy that I would even consider carrying one of the Eeevil Gunz, and the flamewar that ensued was as gruesome as it was pathetic. Thankfully, I was not the one being flamed -- I sat back and watched as they started bickering about whether they would have rules about "gun-free zones" at their club meetings or not. It was a moot point...I don't *go* to their meetings...but they were so threatened, they HAD to start making rules immediately. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Solomon Short once said "opinions are like rectums...everyone has at least one...and they frequently stink". But, to carry the metaphor way too far, if one tries to block off the source of opinion too forcibly, the resulting explosion can be most...distasteful. *grin* |

What I'm going to avoid is shotguns. I can't hit ANYTHING with one. :P |

If your mind is not made up on the carbine, they really have gotten a little more pricey than they are worth. Fun gun, but that is about it, unless you relish the history behind them. The caliber stinks for anything but fun. The AR-15's are very useful for many things, including self defense, and are VERY fun. We have many members in PA who will, no doubt, be happy to help. They are accurate, not too expensive, cheap to feed, effective, and most of all--politically INcorrect!! [BD]

OK getting off topic here, but beekeeper don't knock a good .30 cal. GI carbine with a 15 round mag stoked with Silvertips. Light, handy, low recoil, and out to say 200 yards it is pretty darned wicked.
Welcome Pink Pistols and associates. I am surprised but pleased that such a group even exists as generally the gay community tends to be associated with all the classic leftist BS. |

Welcome! Glad you came. The AR is a much better rifle then the M1 carb.!!! Obviously the AR is still on active duty. I have Shot lots of action matches and AR's all ways out preform the M1 carbs. I must say I have seen many woman shooting the AR's with great results! Shoot every thing you can then, look at your needs get some good advice and buy as many as you can with lots of ammo to blaze through at the range and have fun! Don't forget to turn on some one else to the sport of shooting! Join the NRA! |
