http://www.thespectrum.com/article/20110212/NEWS05/110212011/Poll--Most-Utahns-oppose-designation-of-state-gunA statewide poll shows most Utahns oppose a bill that declares the Browning semiautomatic pistol the official state gun.
The Deseret News/KSL poll found 57 percent of Utahns surveyed oppose designation of a state gun and 36 percent favor it. Seven percent are undecided.
The bill now awaits Gov. Gary Herbert’s signature after the House on Friday concurred with a Senate amendment to it.
Supporters say the bill is a way to show support for guns and gun ownership, and to honor Utah native John Browning for the invention of the M1911 semiautomatic pistol 100 years ago.
