"I bet these guys would carry 'em...

hahahahahahaha......ahem how did you know about that site?"
Actually I know of that site from some of folklore we have where I live.
You see, in the tiny town of Houston, TX, there is a section of town known simply as "Montrose". Its where all the gays and lesbians congregate. The Montrose area used to be a very bad part of town, with gang activity and violence an everyday part of life. Then one day, a local group of law-abiding citizens decided they had had enough. They took back the streets they loved from the criminal element, and made it safe for the general populace one again.
They were the gays and lesbians. They got tired of being bashed in their own backyard and did something about it. And the Pink Pistols is one of the groups that helped them do it. They learned to carry and protect themselves, and refused to cowtow to the criminals. When the criminals learned that the sides were even, they backed off.
At least, that is the legend around here.
Texas gays. To quote Eddie Murphy, "One thing you gotta remember, that f*g is a MAN and he'll kick your butt. And that some embarrassing s**t, getting your butt kicked by a f*g."
Regardless of personal beliefs, I am proud of what the gay and lesbian community accomplished there and I wish them the best.
And as far as the original topic goes, yes, I would carry a pink pistol. I'm confident enough in myself to not care what others think.
