There are plenty here who like guns. I wouldn't hazard a guess at the overall percentage who are pro-gun, though.

Different strokes for different folks. Not every gun owner fits nicely into the right wing stereotype.

When my friend worked at a large gun shop, he introduced me to a gay guy that frequents the shop. The guy carried a USP45 concealed and even owned an MP5K. He was a pretty good dude, even with the man purse and bright pink shirt

Quoted: Different strokes for different folks. Not every gun owner fits nicely into the right wing stereotype. +1 and +1 to pink pistols as well. They are a great organization and I think that the group could be the perfect "in" to get more firearms into the hands of what has historically been a left leaning community. Gay or straight, one more gun owner is one more gun owner. I have gun owning gay friends who are significantly more pro-gun than some of the "conservative" while male fudds that I've met. |

and this surprises you why???
stereotypes aren't always 100% true yano. My old roommates boyfriend is a very active Republican and guess what....he's flamingly gay. Not all gays are Democrats. LOL and on a funny side note, he doesn't see why all the prissy queens are pushing for gay marriage nor does he see the advantage to it or the point. |

Theory: Anti-gunners live in a fantasy world where everyone is their friend and its generally safe and cops will magically prevent anything bad from happening to you. Queers know that the world is not a safe place and you have to keep your wits about you and defend yourself. |

Quoted:
I have a funny story. Hopefully someone can throw in their two cents and tell me the trend I've been noticing isn't isolated. A friend of mine (who collects guns) had a party. His girlfriend is a drama/theatre typre girl and has lots of gay friends. Half a dozen or so of them were over at this party when for some reason the subject of gun ownership is brought up. Bracing myself for the worst, I thought for sure all these gay guys (who were the emo-looking, decidedly un-Mr. Slave sort) in the middle of what is is a party house full of vocal leftists weren't sympathetic to stereotypically manly pursuits. But one of them asks to see my friends guns. We go to his room and shut the door to muffle the noise downstairs, and these gay guys start rattling off what guns they have at home (including some EBR's). My buddy hands them his AR to look at and they're already familiar with the terminology of "assault weapons" ie charging handle, magazine, flash suppresor. So I was rather perplexed by the guys' opinions on gun and remembered that that was not the first time I've run into some flamboyant guys who liked guns. A friend of the bartender where I used to work was gay, and he had a vast knowledge of guns that surprised me. So anyway what I'm getting at is do you all think guns are an emerging trend with gays or do I just run into the ones who like shooting? A bit of both.....I have been into firearms since I can remember [about 40 yrs]. Also the LGBT is both understanding that the 2nd amend is their only real defense in life....and shoot is alot of fun as well. |

There were two lesbians locally who ran a gunshop called Lavender Guns. They were advocates for CCW and ran handgun safety classes. Unforunately, the shop only lasted a couple years.

aArmed gays dont get bashed. +1 Speaking as a homosexual, not those faggots, god hate them flamboyant faggots. I was able to get away with a lot at school without suffering the gay bashing or even people getting lippy (i am talking about hooking up with a guy in the middle of school which drew HUGE crowds. and no one ever said a word to me about it, course the guy i hooked up with got his ass kicked countless time when i dumped him cause he was a fag. reason being, i was the psycho with guns. No one messes with the psycho with guns, reguardless of his sexuality. Sadly though here my kind of gays are far and few between...last date i was about to go on canceled and flipped out when he realised i had guns....sheesh

Heck, I work with a guy at my FMS/OMS (Army 30+ level maintenance shop) shop every day who's (As they used to say)..."As queer as a three dollar bill" (
 ) but, he's about the biggest gun-nut we have in a shop FULL of gun-nuts!
He reloads, refinishes old guns, owns a shitload of firearms AND (The thing I really hate about him! lol) thinks "barry" is the best thing that ever happened to the country ( ).
Anyway, dude's a gun-nut to the bone (And my BOSS on the small arms team! lol) so, I "Forgive" him his other failings.......

I shared a cubicle with a VERY liberal lesbian for almost 2 years. She was hard-core Democrat and didn't really like Mormons. Despite our obvious differences we got along really well, partly because we shared a warped sense of humor. One day she was telling me about how her neighborhood had some break-ins and it was then she confided in me that she kept a .38 in her nightstand. I was beyond shocked because I never would have guessed it. |
