If you did not receive the Pistol Group email and want to get on that distribution list, log onto the website and go into your profile.  Check the Pistol box in the "Group participation" section below the Avatar section. 

You can come and go as you please.  Unchecking the box next to Pistol will unsubscribe you from future pistol mailings

Check out the attached screenshot to see what that looks like in your profile.
