What happened in Orlando was horrific. It also tells me members of the LGBT community are being targeted by this kind of insanity.
Therefore...
I am hereby offering my decades of experience to assist in any way with helping any members of this community who might see owning a firearm as an option, to defend themselves and those they love from this kind of insanity.
I believe they may see members of your community as soft targets, as you generally do not like guns as a group. I think there may be more of this kind of horrific acts in the future, and am willing to open my PM or posts here, to any that would like to benefit from my knowledge of firearms should you decide to not be the victim any more and shoot back.
I can guarantee you had he done this in a C&W bar in Texas, he would not have gotten such a high body count.
I am not asking this to be a debate about gun control, yes or no, but rather am offering my knowledge to any in the LGBT community that might be thinking going unarmed in this new environment of radical hate directed your way, as unacceptable.
So, if any who might be now thinking about arming yourselves in this new environment as a viable option, I would like to extend my decades of experience to help you make an informed decision as to the best options for you and your lifestyle.
Not everyone is a Dirty Harry, and merely owning a weapon is no guarantee. However, owning the right weapon for you and your lifestyle could very well separate you from being a statistic, or another sad photograph on the news the next time this will happen....and believe me, I am very certain, there will be a next time, and the gentleness of the gay community makes them a target for the beasts.
I offer what I know and have learned to help in any way I can.
Wolves hate it when the sheep are packing!
For bars or a businesses that make 51 percent of their money from the sale of alcohol, all guns are banned – even if you have a concealed handgun license.
You can openly carry rifles and shotguns in most places. One big exception to open carry is any establishment with a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission permit.
What does that (bolded above) assertion mean? I am sure that you are aware that it is a crime, even with a Texas CHL, to carry in a bar dislaying a 51% sign.

It goes beyond guns. The fact that nobody in that place tried to stop the shooter was half the problem.
Yes, I am aware. I am also aware how quick it takes to run outside to your truck...
You are also aware of what risk is involved in being an (the?) obviously armed person in an active shooter situation when the cavalry arrives.
If you have escaped to your truck then it is wisest not to arm yourself and then return to play (citizen's arrest?) hero where guns are banned. Standing your ground outside is fine and may even be legal.
Couple of things struck me as odd- first just how many gays do you know, i mean really know and don't just make silly ASSuMeptions by watching Rue Paul. I know some cold hearted gay life takers and heart breakers in the service at Ft. Sill. Been hunting with a gay woman and her spousal equiv... Maybe gays are a tougher lot in SW OK than East Texas...
Next here in Oklahoma our extremely conservative law makers have decided booze and firearms don't mix. I kinda thought Texas had a 51% law when it came to prohibiting firearms in bars. besides ya can't polish that belt buckle with a hog leg blocking your Arkansas toothpick...
If I recall the news coverage properly there was an armed guard (off duty cop) who confronted the gunman at the start of the murder spree- so very true training and a weapon doesn't mean the murderer won't get a high body count. (and so much for the old saw about it just takes one armed citizen to stop a murder)
Anyways once again you resort to the stereotype of 'gentle' gays... dude I work with a few- one gay girl's fav saying is- "Bitch I WILL cut you!" :shock:
Yeah gay bars have their fair share of fights- and not bitch slaps fest either- gentle and gay bar just wasn't my first thought...
Anywho, ignoring the stereotypes it is awfully nice of you to offer your services- I've trained a few gay men and women- they are good students and this was because they liked shooting- not fear of deranged sexually frustrated 'straight' guys...eace

As for the 51% law....OK, I will accept being arrested for it, and also being responsible for saving several lives by pulling mine and dropping the SOB. Being a Libra (the balance scales)...saving several lives on one side, and being guilty of a 51% law on the other...hmmm....decisions, decisions... I guess it all amounts to what law has priority over your actions....Texas 51% law, or the Law of Humanity.
More than likely you'd cop a felony for carrying in the bar on one of the thousand nights no active shooter shows up...eace

HEADLINE: Disabled Veteran kills active shooter in Texas bar and saves several lives, but is arrested for violating 51% Law.
I will pay the fine and do the time...no problem here.
I throw myself to the mercy of the court.
Equally likely headline: Disabled veteran killed after being mistaken for active shooter in local bar gunfight - deputy Barney (Betty?) not facing any charges for his (her?) honest mistake. You have way too much faith in the infallibility of local LEOs.

Sorry. Your post is so full of stereotypes and misinformation I laughed while reading it. Try walking up to a black drag queen and telling her how "soft" she is. Most likely you'll spend the next half hour pick your teeth up off the ground.
Actually, Texas also doesn't allow carry in bars. It's known as a 51% sign.What happened in Orlando was horrific. It also tells me members of the LGBT community are being targeted by this kind of insanity.

The problem with that is that in order to be ready, you'd have to carry past the 51% every time. It could be years, most probably never, when you get that splashy headline. More likely, in all that time, an accidental show or print gets you busted, and then there would be a blurb on page 18 about a retired vet being arrested for carrying in a bar.As for the 51% law....OK, I will accept being arrested for it, and also being responsible for saving several lives by pulling mine and dropping the SOB.

theoretically....You make decisions for you, and I will make decisions for me. That is how it works. You are also off topic.
I have known homosexual MEN, that will kick butt, and I have known gay men that are very genteel and fair.
My offer is for any who lack firearms experience and might see the need after Orlando.
I have a shooting range in my backyard, and plenty of free ammo if they would like to learn the basics.
We are all Americans here, and I hated the fact this monster chose to hit a place he thought was an easy target rich environment, and was proven he was right.
There are exceptions, but as a general rule gay men are not fighters. That is not my goal.
My goal is to prevent gay men from being VICTIMS.
