Oh, I know JMB pretty well, but the state could have adopted a Winchester lever, Remington shotgun, or even single-shot .22 he invented as a state gun.

I would love to visit the museum, as the man was probably THE most influential American inventor, of all time, aside from Edison's success in erasing the night sky and making large cities popular places to migrate.
