Re: If Texas adopted a state gun what would it be?
I would vote for the Walker as well. It is said: "The Walker Colt was the largest and most powerful black powder repeating handgun ever made. It was created in the mid-1840s in a collaboration between Captain Samuel Hamilton Walker (1817-47) and American firearms inventor Samuel Colt (1814-62), building upon the earlier Colt Paterson design. Walker wanted a handgun that was extremely powerful at close range.TxLobo wrote:to me, only 2 'guns' represent the freedom of Texas, and they would be either the 1844 Texas Patterson, or the 1847 Colt Walker..
The Walker Colt was used in the Mexican-American War and on the Texas frontier."
Sounds like we may need somting like it now.
