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."
