About Nicki Stallard

Nicki Stallard is a California gun rights advocate who has served as a spokesperson for the Pink Pistols and as a state-level coordinator for the organization’s social, outreach and training activities, including coordinating the San Jose chapter. Pink Pistols, founded in July 2000 by Massachusetts activist Doug Krick after a Salon.com article by Jonathan Rauch, is the best-known LGBT gun rights and self-defense organization in the United States. Its approach centers on teaching members to shoot and to defend themselves, and membership requires support for the individual right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment.

In press coverage of the group, Stallard has explained why its message resonated: older safety advice told vulnerable people to carry a whistle and blow it if attacked, an approach that often fails because bystanders do not get involved. That self-reliance message drew national attention in June 2016, when Pink Pistols membership surged from about 1,500 to more than 7,000 in the weeks following the Orlando nightclub shooting. Advocates like Stallard have helped bring new and nontraditional gun owners into training and into the broader Second Amendment community.
