This advisory question asks Idahoans to designate which gun they would like to have as the official Idaho State Gun. This is a non-binding measure, and the Legislature would have to take action during a future legislative session to officially designate a gun as the Idaho State Gun.
This legislation is expected to have no direct impact on the General Fund or local government revenues. The Secretary of State already has sufficient funds to put measures on the ballot. The addition of another question should have minimal impact.
