Alaska would have an official state firearm under a measure introduced by a Wasilla Republican.
Sen. Charlie Huggins' bill would reserve that title for the pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 .30-06 caliber rifle. Huggins says the rifle played a key role in settling country and was used by hunters, trappers, Alaska Natives and pioneers during Alaska's formative years.
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

Nice rifle!
I'll nominate a S&W 44 magnum for the state handgun!
Hunh.. given what's sitting in the museums up here I'd think they would have picked a Winchester 1895.
... but I can live with that choice I guess. :)
