STATE GUN – States findings of the Legislature and provides for an advisory question regarding the state gun of Idaho to be placed on the ballot before the voters.

This bill directs Idaho's Secretary of State to place an advisory question on the 2026 general election ballot asking voters to choose one firearm from a list of six options to designate as the state gun. The legislation includes findings about the historical role of firearms in Idaho and American history, emphasizing their use in westward expansion, survival, and self-defense. Voters will be presented with choices including the Winchester Model 1894, Winchester Model 1873, Colt Single Action Army Revolver, M1 Garand rifle, Colt M1911 pistol, and Remington Model 700 rifle. The Legislative Council may add additional firearms to the ballot before the election, and the results will guide the Legislature in officially designating the state gun.
