More information about the Pink Pistols
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008
NHPP is a statewide self-defense group that works to build bridges between
the shooting community and other communities, such as those based on
alternative sexualities. We include members from the GLBT, Polyamarous, and
BDSM communities, but you don’t need to be gay or have an alternative
sexuality to join and participate.
I asked organizer Ryan Marvin a few questions about the Pink Pistols in New Hampshire.
How large is your organization in New Hampshire?
The Pink Pistols are an open membership group, with no membership dues or requirements. One only has to call himself a member to be one. Between the Facebook, Myspace, and mailing list numbers I’d say there are about 100 members of the New Hampshire group, divided about equally between heterosexuals and members of the queer community. Since our recent media coverage, the numbers have been growing by about 5 people a day.
