PROVO - Until this week, Utah had only 24 state symbols, from tree (the blue spruce) to insect (the honeybee) to sexual position (missionary). Now the state has addressed a crucial legislative oversight by adding an official state firearm -- the John M. Browning-designed M1911 pistol, becoming the first state in the nation to have one. According to Republican State Rep. Carl Wymner who sponsored the law."People are saying it's ignorant, a waste of legislative time and money and deeply insensitive in light of the recent shootings in Arizona" said Wymner "what I say to them is, it's a hell of a lot more fun than budgets or education." Wymner then announced his next legislative priority, getting the official state birth control method (rhythm) through the legislature.
