"Until this week, Utah had 24 state symbols, from tree (the blue spruce) to insect (the honeybee) to even cooking pot (the Dutch oven).
Now it's added an official state firearm -- the John M. Browning-designed M1911 pistol, becoming the first state in the nation to have one, according to the state legislator who sponsored the law.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert signed the new symbol into law this week."
Funny, but Utah must be suffering from sctzophrenia(sp) these days. A couple weeks ago they pass something as stupid as making Utah a sanctuary state. Now they do something honorable like adopting the finest combat handgun of all times as the offical state gun.
Well, if they have a state cooking pot, they might as well have a state gun.
At least we use our state symbols! Dutch ovens are very popular here! Guns and cooking pots are more interesting symbols than dirt, which a lot of states actually honor.
