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.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
