http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2010/09/transgender_gun_advocate_to_sp.phpSan Franciscans probably have their ideas about the sort of folks who will descend on the Hyatt Regency airport hotel this weekend for the Second Amendment Foundation's gun rights conference: white, Tea Partyish, Red State-y, straight.
Then here comes panelist Nicki Stallard to blow your stereotypes to pieces. (Not literally, but almost.) Stallard is transgender, she's a registered Republican, and she's the proud owner of an arsenal (she prefers the term "collection") of rifles, shotguns, and handguns. She's a coordinator with the San Jose chapter of Pink Pistols, a national pro-gun LGBT organization, and she says she likes to have guns but hopes to never have to use them: "I have a nasty thing called a conscience so I would feel awful if I smoked somebody."
