State gun?

WTF?

[fatman]

Its Merrika dude

[Pudfark]

Well, it could have been worse?

Like Hawaii's state gun?
The "Oh-bam-uh"....also called the "chitty-chitty-bang-bang"...
anybody can buy one...though, no one can afford the ammo....

John Moses Browning.

HELL of a guy!!!

His designs helped win the West and two world wars. The beloved "Ma-Deuce" is still kicking ass!

And he told Remington to kiss his ass, went to Belgium and built a better shotgun.

His P-35 is my favorite pistol.

Now Wullie....they's a reason them P-35's hold so many bullets...
It's the same reason, I refer to the caliber as "silly millimeter"....
However, once ya got one in yer hand? Mercy, it feels good...
A hell of a lot better weapon...than a slippery gripped S&W 59 and
twice as reliable, if not more....back in the day, I did many a trigger job
on the P-35...it's time consuming work...with the "linkage" and all....
