Idaho voters face a non-binding advisory question on the November 2026 ballot asking which of several historical firearms should guide the legislature in designating an official state gun, with the measure passing unanimously in both chambers and signed in April. The leading options—Winchester Model 1873, Colt Peacemaker, Colt M1911, Winchester Model 1894, and others—draw comparable support in current trading because each holds strong cultural resonance in a state with high gun ownership and deep ties to Western and military history. No major polling, endorsements, or organized campaigns have emerged since the bill's passage, leaving trader consensus evenly split among the field. Separation could occur through release of voter surveys, addition of further options by the Legislative Council, or targeted outreach tying specific models to Idaho's hunting traditions or frontier heritage ahead of election day.
