ARKANSAS, February 16, 2010 – The Republican Party of Arkansas presented keynote Speaker Sarah Palin with an engraved Henry Repeating Arms Big Boy 44 Magnum rifle tonight at their fundraising event at the Verizon Arena in Little Rock. The rifle was personalized with serial number PALIN-001, the brass receiver was inscribed with ‘Presented to Sarah Palin – February 16, 2010 – Republican Party of Arkansas’ and the Republican Party of Arkansas’ logo was carved into the buttstock.
Palin began her keynote speech in front of a cheering crowd of 5,000 by thanking the Republican Party of Arkansas for the beautiful rifle, noting that she even called her son Track to tell him about it, and stated, “It’s great to be in a state where it’s okay to cling to your guns and religion.”
President Lincoln was presented with a Henry rifle during his presidency. It hangs in The Smithsonian and has become a priceless national treasure.

I still really like Sarah Palin! I was quite disappointed to find out that she had decided not to run for president in 2012. She would make a better president than anyone in the current Republican field, and that’s saying something!!!!! Good on the Arkansas Republican Party & Henry Rifle company too!
God Bless Her !!!!!!!!!!!
Hot chick and a bad ass rifle is there anything better?? God Bless America lets preserve this for all generations to enjoy!!
It is nice of the Henry Rifle to present the rifle to someone who knows how to use it and will stand up for the rights of Americans against the Progressive powers that be. Well Done.
Sarah would be one hot prez! Anything would be better than what we have now…
What a beautiful weapon and Gov Palin is sure a worthy recipient. Thank You Gov Palin, Henry’s Rifle Co and the State Republican Party of Arkansas. God willing this rifle wil be a national treasure in years to come.
We need more folks like our Arkansas neighbors and our Alaska friends…Take our guns and only the bad guys will have guns!
Great! I bought my great-grandson a Henry…when is was five years old he is now eight and shoots very good…
