The right state, the right year, the right gun.

I don't think any original designs have come out of Texas. We have High Standard, STI and LaRue though

I guess New Jersey's best claim would be the Colt Paterson, but given that most people are unfamiliar with it, and that New Jersey is very unfriendly to guns, I doubt we'll ever see it. (Sam Colt wasn't from NJ, but it was built in Paterson, hence the name.) Maybe someone can propose a compromise and name the Picatinny Rail the official state firearm accessory.

what about Alabama?

I guess Montana would get the Shiloh Sharps!...Since no real montanian would claim Coopers.

I hope they say "the m1911 is the sate gun" instead of "colt 1911." Just saying.
