News Shooter, SASS #31545 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 PHOENIX -- The Arizona Legislature is considering a bill to designate a historic Colt revolver the official state firearm, angering gun-control activists who denounced the measure as insulting and a waste of time when the state is facing serious economic problems.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Good for Arizona, this is a great state and I'd love to be living there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 1911 for Utah, SAA for Arizona....it's a nice trend. I'd recommend the Colt 1849 for California. (probably won't happen soon though) Any state have the cojones to go with a Thompson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go West Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I would think the Colt SAA would appeal to anti-gunners. Holds 5 rounds safely (they're pushing to hold magazines to no more than 10 rounds) Not used by the criminal crowd. It's a revolver, not a dreaded semi-automatic. Since it's a big gun, it's probably not the best choice for discreet carry (they are terrified of discreet carry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So, would Texas get the Patterson or the Walker? Wait, how about a spelling contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 How about a 50 cal. muzzleloader for Ohio? Flintlock or C&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Hacker, #60477 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So, would Texas get the Patterson or the Walker? Wait, how about a spelling contest? Don't forget. The cylinder engraving on a Colt "Navy" is the Texas Navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Texas would definitely go for the Walker! Everything is big in Texas, and I can't think of a bigger historic revolver than that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
