John C. Sigler (born 1945) is an American lawyer, gun rights activist, former chair of the Republican State Committee of Delaware and former president of the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Sigler graduated from Milford High School in 1964 and attended Appalachian State Teacher's College.[1] He earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration from Wilmington College in 1981, a Master of Business Administration from Central Michigan University, and a Juris Doctor from Widener University School of Law in 1987. He served in the United States Navy from 1967 to 1971 on the USS George Bancroft (SSBN-643) and USS Hardhead (SS-365), and worked for the police department in Dover, Delaware from 1972 to 1991. He retired as a captain and subsequently worked as a lawyer.
Sigler joined the NRA in 1970 and was elected to the board of directors in 1996. He was named president at the 2007 annual meeting in St. Louis, succeeding Sandra Froman to become the 59th president of the organization.[2] He served two terms and was succeeded by Ron Schmeits in 2009.
In 2013, Sigler abruptly resigned as chair of the Delaware Republican Party.[3]
