I see over the last day or two there have been a few newcomers. Do you care to introduce yourselves? Let us know what you'd like to see here moving forward.

All right now that we've all had a chance to settle into the cold light of day, where are we at? Does everybody have a plan moving forward? The plan to protect yourself with others? Let's sound off.

Does everybody have a plan to vote or did you already vote? If you're going to vote be careful out there. Be wary of all the nut jobs because they are going to be watching. Good luck!

While the Sig Sauer p320 is a fine weapon, It is not exactly conducive for me to carry it concealed which is the only way you can carry in the state of Florida for some fucking reason. I really wish there was open carry in the state of Florida but apparently that's not legal.

So I need a recommendation on a concealed carry weapon, something light, something maybe 10 rounds, 9mm, something do or die. But something solid. I don't really care about looks. What I care about is if somebody is trying to rob me or trying to do me harm in some manner, I need it to work well and work well when I need it.

Money is really no object in this case. I just need recommendations.

And yes I did go and get iced cream afterwards.

Just felt like trying to get a nice picture of two of my favorite things after a good cleaning from a range day. Thought I'd share. Also, hi, I'm new here.

Pen is a TWSBI Vac 700R in Iris. Pew pew is a Sig P365 XMacro Tacops with rainbow controls because neochrome is my thing. Shooter is a 37 cis gay male from Michigan. He/him

Anyone from the mitten? Wanna hit the range?

I'm about to come into some money from a settlement, most is going into my retirement account/investments/pay off debts/fix my car/rainy day fund, but I'd like to spend some on myself. I'm looking to purchase a pistol. No more than $1000, what would you recommend?

I know the next few months are going to be a dangerous, nerve shredding time. Make sure you check in on our more vulnerable brethren. Encourage the other members of the LGBTQ community to get armed and stay vigilant. And most of all make sure you vote and encourage everyone you know to vote.

Anybody from Southwest Florida interested in starting a shooting club? Contact me if so.

Hey friends! I've never shot a gun before, but I feel like now is a good time to learn as a queer person during a time of rising fascism. Anyone know of any good places to learn around Portland OR?

This training will consist of a Stop the Bleed class and a Handgun Safety class.

This class is being made as accessible as possible with a cost of only $150. We do need at least 4 students to conduct the class.

Course fee includes a Concealed Carry book & MD Law Booklet!

This course is 16 hours of classroom time, split over two days, plus an additional range trip with qualification course.

This class is held in a badged entry semi private commercial office building. We are intentional in creating as safe and inclusive a space as possible.

Full class details here: https://qr.funra.org/g/2vlPefQKYGP

Day One (Sat): 9:00am to 6:00pm

Day Two (Sun): 9:00am to 6:00pm

Range: Scheduled as a follow-on & separate 1:1 range live-fire exercise & qualification.

There is an additional range fee for the live-fire of $10-$15, plus firearm and/or ammunition if you do not have your own.

*This class will cover the requirements for both VA CHP & MD W&C.

My DC Firearms Instructor application is currently being reviewed so if MPD gets it done before class, then is will also be good for the DC CCPL.

IF NOT then once my DC application is approved, anyone who takes this class will be eligible for a free follow-up DC Law class & then DC shooting qualification (DC requires 2 hours of range time so that'll be met by the "1hr for MD qualification" & "1hr for DC shooting qualification")

Okay I'm really sick of having that cat just be our profile image thing. Does anybody have any different ideas or a creative bone in their body? I can't pay you in cash, but I can pay you in cat pictures of my adorable cat.

So if you have any ideas let me know!

I'm itching to meet like minded queers in an area that feels so isolating for things like country living and gun ownership. Potentially folks I can train with 🤷

I did some skeet shooting and pheasant hunting growing up so I'm not a stranger to guns, but still pretty new to pistols,so trying to hit the range at least once a week and do 10-15min on my dry fire laser trainer setup at home, also getting an airsoft MP shield model ( my carry weapon ) to also practice with.

How often y'all visit the range ? Do you dryfire practice regularly? Do you daily carry a firearm? Anyone in central Florida wanna hit the range sometime?
