Texas may soon have an official state gun.
I’m shocked they didn’t already have one. Of all the states to have one, you’d think it would be Texas. But they don’t have one. Six states do, though.
- Utah’s state gun is the Browning M1911.
- Arizona has the Colt Single Action Army Revolver.
- Indiana has the Grouseland Rifle.
- West Virginia’s state gun is the Hall Flintlock Model 1819.
- Pennsylvania’s is the Long Rifle.
- Alaska has the pre-1964 Winchester Model 70.
And that’s it, so far. Texas may finally get around to having a state gun. They actually have another proposal for the 1847 Colt Walker pistol to be the State Gun.
So, all you residences of Utah, Arizona, Indiana, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Alaska, and Texas that don’t already own one of your State Guns in your collection, hop to it. State Pride and all.
The rest of you? Just get what suits you.
The Soviet State of Washington ‘State Gun’ would be a sign with a gun pointed at your head saying, “Yield To Bicyclists.” (At least if the mayor of Seattle had his way.)
New York has four: the illegal zipgun, Dad’s ol’ hunting rifle, the Saturday Night Special, and the child’s water gun that makes liberals wet themselves.
Illinois had a state gun but someone stole it.
The National Gun should be the 1911.
Thanks. Gives me a reason to buy a gun!
I guess I’m going to be looking for a Colt Single Action Army.
You forgot Tennessee…
Barrett M82
…The Barrett 0.50 it can shoot a plane down and stop a car on its tracks… We don’t just kill you, we blow you up!
Texas doesn’t have a state gun because we celebrate firearms diversity.
No doubt every citizen of Texas (outside of Austin) has a strongly-held opinion as to which firearm most deserves the honor. (In Austin, the very idea that a gun is something to be celebrated rather than reviled, regulated and confiscated has them running for their safe spaces.)
Liberal States: Pop Tarts.
Louisiana: As Patton knew, only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl-handled pistol.
