Responsible Gun Ownership with Diana Pinto
Diana Pinto is the owner of Pintos Guns Shop, located in downtown Renton.  Raised in a family of shooters, Diana has been around guns for all of her life.  Her father owned a gun shop in Kent for 25 years, and she fondly remembers helping count bullets and sort ammunition along with her two older sisters.  She learned at a young age firearm responsibility and how to shoot and handle guns safely.  This along with a belief in educating others about firearms has lead to her work with youth shooters at Renton Fish and Game Club as well as teaching a beginners women's safety class for years.  Educating others about the responsibility, as well as enjoyment, of firearms ownership continues to be priority of hers.
