African-American Gun Clubs

[Rob Boudrie]

I avoided clubs that were mostly older white men. Ball park it at age 50+

Don't write off us 50+ white guys.

My involvement in USPSA, and the local gun club, is the only reason I have friends ranging in age from 20s to 70s, plus a far greater diversity of professions and backgrounds that those I encounter in the other aspects of my life.

A key to keeping a gun club active and healthy is the older guys welcoming the young ones, and then working them to death doing work for the club.

I think we should take the Harvard (U) approach and institute strict quotas at all gun clubs.


... A club cannot have more than 5% of its members named Mike. Sorry Mister Happy...

I don't care what color people at my club are, that being said, diversity is the liberals mantra

There are definitely pockets of minority gun owners. MA has it's own women's groups for guns; the Pink Pistols have a Boston chapter (good bunch btw, I've gone to a couple of events to support them); Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership; Black Guns Matter; etc. Just wish these groups were bigger.
