The Pink Pistols' symbol consists of an overhead view of a picto-person aiming a handgun in an isosceles stance superimposed on a pink triangle. The more people know that members of our community may be armed, the less likely they will be to single us out for attack. We will help you select a firearm, acquire a permit, and receive proper training in its safe and legal use for self-defense. 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. The group occasionally produces report cards on politicians, rating their position on issues of interest to members. Pink Pistols' activities include firing range visits and political activism. However, there is nothing within either of these two single issues that is mutually exclusive and a variety of other pro-gun organizations exist for groups not typically associated with gun rights (for example, the "Democrats for the Second Amendment"). The political orientation of the Pink Pistols is considered unusual due to the popular perception in the United States of firearms ownership as a " conservative issue" and sexuality as a " liberal issue".
Those chapters are located in 33 states and three countries that are principally made up of gun-owning LGBT individuals, though neither status is mandatory for membership.
The organization had at least 45 chapters, as of October 2014.
Inspired by a article written by Jonathan Rauch, Krikket (aka Doug Krick), a libertarian activist from Illinois while living in Massachusetts, founded the Pink Pistols in July 2000.
