And this is Indiana's, a rifle built by Vincennes, Indiana gunsmith John Small. Who also served as Indiana's first sheriff. Quite a guy.
At least one of his rifles was along on the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Did you know there are only 7 states in the U.S. with official state guns? We were shocked as well. So, we thought it would be fun to find guns for all 50 states! Take a look at the firearms we picked and let us know which gun you would choose for your state!

Also, if I recall correctly, Beretta/Benelli pulled out of
Maryland after Governor MOM signed the Assault Weapons Ban.
A Penis is the Washington state gun.
The double rifle is gorgeous, but we don’t actually have any guns in Idaho.
“The Utah native’s contributions to the field of small arms development are unparalleled. The guns he invented for the commercial and sporting market are almost too numerous to list and many of his designs are still made today. While sometimes overlooked, Browning-designed military arms are even more impressive. One of the most important U.S. military arms of the 20th century will forever, fittingly, bear the name of its designer, the Browning Automatic Rifle.”
I had no idea SOF was still published.
They published a few articles I wrote for them back in the mid-late’70s, I haven’t even seen a copy of it for at least 15 years.
No. That’s the official sidearm of the EU.
Sorry, but no, our state gun is wielded by the demonrats and it is the deadly middle finger of liberal elitism loaded with unsecured entitlements and la raza supremacy.

The Jim Pate years were the best. Pete Kokalis passed away in Arizona in January.
Aiming a weapon out of a moving vehicle.
Yes. They called it a “weapon” 6 MONTHS!
Mighty poorly done website at the link. I’m not going to waste my time trying to sort out what spyware and ad scripts I have to run to actually view the story.
Glockenspiel
One that seeks an anus.
In Maryland, you might as well make your selection from Baltimore, its most populous city. In Baltimore, that gun would be the fit-in-the-palm-of-your hand semi-auto in nine millimeter. Of various makers but Keltec is common. This weapon has no permanent owner or home but it frequently sound behind a loose brick of the wall of a corner rowhouse in a micro ghetto controlled by a certain gang. After one of the gang members uses the pistol to perforate the body of a member of another gang or an unfortunate teenager who vocally abused (called “dissing”) a member of the shooter’s gang or the shooter’s mother or grandmother or baby-mamma, the weapon is often deposited under a storm drain grate or behind a loose brick in the wall of another rowhouse. The weapon is probably registered to some suburban white guy or the gun shop where it was originally shipped. When the police inevitably find the gun, it almost whispers to the cops “I dindu nuttin.” Rarely are its shots fatal.
LOL a true thinker.
Ahhh, a thing of beauty! And John Small learned his craft in Pennsylvania!

Lewis and Clark...
Awesome!
Always wondered Why they didn’t stay in
Oregon a wait for a Ship to pass by ???
Or it could be they just wanted to get back to St Louis for the start of the Cardinals' baseball season at Busch Stadium....
Read the article on Smalls and
His Rifle...Wow!
Lewis and Clark on DVD by PBS next!
Old Timey Sunday..
THANKS!
And this is what the Grouseland Rifle looks like in William Henry Harrison's home *Grouseland.*
But they're incorrect about only six known examples of Small rifles being known to still be in existance. There are seven, and possibly eight.
