Wilton Manors gun group promotes self-defense for gays
Their motto is "Armed gays don't get bashed."

Joani McBride explains: "A., I'm female, and, B., I'm little. You know, I'm fairly defenseless. But honey, a .357 beats four aces every time."

A gun aficionado for three decades, McBride knows the difference between a Colt Commander .45 ACP and the Charter Arms Bulldog .44, her two favorite handguns. And she knows how to point them if she has to -- she did once, at a knife-wielding attacker in Colorado.

McBride is 62. She is 5-foot-4, 130 pounds. She is one of 25 members of the Wilton Manors chapter of the Pink Pistols, an international gay and lesbian gun advocacy group.

1. That's actually a great idea - gays should join the NRA in droves.
Like George Carlin says - with a leader named Wayne LaPierre........... heheh.....
