"And as of Wednesday, the Barrett .50 caliber is now the official state rifle of Tennessee, joining an illustrious roster of other state symbols including the raccoon (state wild animal), the tomato (state fruit), and Tennessee cave salamander (state amphibian)."

Yer famous, I tells Ya!

Years ago, a state was declaring so many things to be the “STATE WHATEVER”, some state senator suggested the state declare a “State Nut”, and said he would nominate the members of the State Congress to that position. I don’t remember if it was Tennessee or NUT, er, not.
