LAS VEGAS — “Does my firearm make my tukhus look big?” Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore asks with a laugh as she removes her “very sleek Glock 43” from behind her back and puts it on her kitchen table.

Brooklyn-born Fiore grew up in a Democratic family and still identifies with some of that party’s issues, such as gay rights, even as she made a name for herself as a Republican in her adopted state of Nevada.

She’s done that with a canny cultivation of her image, particularly with her pin-up calendar, which shows off her guns and her gams in cheeky poses, like say, her in evening wear, hoisting an AR Pistol Extar EXP 556.
