Pennsylvania to Get Official State Gun?

The state already has a firearm named after it – sort of anyway – and now State Senator Pat Brown (R-Lehigh County) is “sponsoring a bill that would designate the Pennsylvania Long Rifle as the state’s official firearm,” reports PennLive.com. The story further notes:

“The Pennsylvania Rifle was developed by craftsmen in the mid-18th century. Using native iron and woods, the earliest versions could take upward of 200 hours to build.”

It is nice to see that there are those in government who do care about the historic significance of firearms.
