What gun should be the Idaho State gun?

[clearwater]

So far the guns on the ballot are

• Winchester Model 1894 (.30-30)
• Winchester Model 1873 (.44-40)
• 1873 Colt Single Action Army Revolver (.45 Colt)
• M1 Garand rifle (.30-06)
• Colt M1911 .45 automatic Colt pistol (.45 ACP)
• Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle (.30-06)

Potato gun for sure!

The Colt 1911 is Utah’s state gun if I remember correctly.

I’m partial to the model 94, but I’d have to go with the 1873.

I don’t know much Idaho history but what is the connection between those firearms and the great state of Idaho? The 1911 being the state firearm of Utah makes perfect sense though that could be said of many of John Browning’s designs.
CT should have the M70, NY should have the Rem 700 although these days those two states would be more likely to adopt the water pistol.
