In March 2011, Utah adopted the M1911 pistol as its state firearm. This gun was designed by Ogden, Utah native John Browning. The adoption was supported by Republican Utah State Representative Carl Wimmer, who said, "It does capture a portion of Utah's history" and "even bigger than that, it captures a portion of American history."
A lot of states adopt a firearm. It’s more to honor a state resident who invented a gun. It doesn’t carry any implied endorsements. And if it did; I would be fine with that state promoting a company within that state to buy firearms from. American made is great, local is even better

Texas doesn’t have a state firearm? :(
That, my fren, is a grave travesty that must be amended. Being Texas it must be awesome. Perhaps a Chain gun or the Vulcan from a Warthog?
I’d be fine with a lever action 30-30 or a .270 bolt action (don’t care about manufacturer), like I grew up shooting with my grandpa
Update: Abbott signed a Resolution naming the 1847 Colt Walker revolver as the official state handgun of Texas.
Thank you for the update.
That gun has some great history behind it. Excellent choice for Texas.
