Pink Pistols Pittsburgh is part of a nationwide network of chapters dedicated to the legal, safe, and responsible use of firearms for self-defense within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Founded in response to an increase in hate-based violence, our organization operates on a simple principle: armed minorities are harder to victimize. We believe in changing perceptions and deterring violence through education, visibility, and community strength.

Our Values:

• Safety First: Helping you access comprehensive training and responsible ownership
• Inclusivity: Welcome to all, regardless of experience level
• Education: Knowledge is power and safety
• Community: Building connections and support networks
• Advocacy: Promoting awareness and understanding

We are FOR the LGBTQIA+ community, but not exclusively OF it. Allies and supporters are welcome to join our mission of creating a safer world for everyone.
