Texas has its own amphibian, dinosaur and pepper, but no official state handgun. Until now, if state Rep. Mike Lang, R-Granbury, has his way. Lawmakers are primed to pull the trigger on a resolution that would designate the 1847 Colt Walker pistol, used in the Mexican-American War, as the state handgun of Texas.

They could pick a better example.
The Walker was prone to exploding in the shooter's hand due to overloading. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
