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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
