Arizona is racing with Utah to become the first state to designate an official state gun; in January, the Utah State House passed a measure which is currently being considered by the State Senate to declare the Browning M1911 semi-automatic the state gun: “This firearm really has defended liberty and freedom around the country and around the world. And I think this is a very appropriate designation to capture a portion of the state history.”
