Advisory Question: Official State Gun of Idaho (House Bill 932)

Idaho
My vote power: Above average

What does this measure do?

Nonbinding advisory vote asking which of six historic firearms should be Idaho's official state gun, such as the Winchester 1894, Colt Peacemaker, or M1 Garand. It changes no law and adds no tax; lawmakers would need a separate bill to adopt the winner.

Proposed by: Idaho Legislature (House Bill 932, introduced by Rep. Jason Monks)

Rep. Monks is a Republican from District 22B (Meridian). He says many states have a state gun and Idaho should too, and he hopes the question lifts voter turnout.

A YES vote means

Choosing one of the six guns adds to a nonbinding tally the Legislature may use to name a state gun later.

A NO vote means

Leaving the question blank has no effect; the result has no legal force either way.
