Can someone carry it openly without a Connecticut yankee license? After all, Colt came from upstairs didn't he?

If California were to adopt a State Gun (no laughing, please) it would have to be an 1849 Colt Pocket Revolver.

Figured you boys in the left coast might adopt a sling shot.

Cool! A state gun! Thanks for posting!

All political comments aside, this could be an interesting topic for discussion.... What blackpowder firearms would best represent each state? Obviously, a Tennessee rifle for Tennessee, and a Hawken rifle would be a perfect state gun for Missouri. The US M1841 rifle was put in the hands of the Mississippi volunteers by Congressman Jefferson Davis for service in the Mexican War, and was known thereafter as the Mississippi Rifle, so it would be a natural as the state gun of Mississippi. A Colt Paterson revolver for New Jersey, a Lancaster longrifle for Pennsylvania, and a Vincent halfstock for Ohio. Possibly a Fayetteville musket or a Gillespie longrifle for North Carolina, and a Palmetto Armory musket for South Carolina. As @Dashing Leper suggested in Post#5, an 1849 Colt Pocket model, which was very popular with the 49'ers, probably would be a good choice for California. My home state of Florida might be a little problematic... maybe a Spanish matchlock musket?

How about it, folks?

Arkansas (at least the Ozarks part) would have to be a shotgun as most were too poor to own an expensive rifle and a shotgun did many things. In the rest of Arkansas it would also be the shotgun do to all the duck hunting and bird hunting they do.

Also if it went for the shotgun and mad daddy's there would be very few weddings.

We got the knife thing at least.

Got anything better let me know.

Texas is a big state, I think we should have three, the Walker, the Paterson, and the Mississippi.
