A chapter of the Pink Pistols LGBT advocacy group—opened in Orlando in the wake of last year’s mass-shooting at the Pulse nightclub—has been particularly active of late.
On the face of it, there’s nothing unusual about an organization dedicated to the opposition of hate crimes against the gay community opening up shop in the seat of Orange County.
The approach taken by the Pink Pistols, however, is somewhat unorthodox.
“I pray I never need to use [my gun] but I do have that knowledge if I do need to,” said Jo Martin, founder of the pistol-packing Orlando chapter, “and that’s one of the reasons I am involved in Pink Pistols; because we want to share that knowledge so that other people have that level of confidence as well.” |

| One of many good reasons to take up arms. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
