I assume the other states are also muzzleloaders.

What is your offical rifle?

Kentucky rifles were called thusly because settlers took them TO Kentucky, but they were perfected in Pennsylvania; what a fine pairing! I am a fan of the York County school, but was fascinated as a kid by the Lancasters.

[Col. Batguano]

The American Long Rifle ought to be our national firearm. That might be a timely piece of legislation to introduce for the 2026 (250th anniversary) celebrating the 1776 signing of the Declaration.

Several nations have the AK-47 on their national flags;
East Timor
Burkino Faso
Mozambique
Zimbabwe
