Good morning, welcome to our series sharing Food Holidays: February 25th, 2022. Did you know today is Pistol Patent Day? This is a Holiday Charlie, and I don’t want anything to deal with because neither Charlie or I like or even want to be around Guns. How about you?
Pistol Patent Day– always February 25th.
If you’re like me this morning, then you might be saying “shoot! I don’t have a Pistol Patent.”, then this Holiday is for you. Today you should aim to get a patent today because it’s Pistol Patent Day.
In order to get a pistol patent, you must have a new design for a gun which I don’t have and don’t want a gun. For those of you who have guns pull out your pistols from your gun safe and examine the gun closely. Is there some way the gun could be improved, or altered? I’m sure you can design an original design for a pistol, and lay down the permit application fees and such, right?
Did you know Samuel Colt invented the revolver, which is a pistol with multiple chambers for bullets? Samuel Colt patented this gun in Europe in 1835, and in the United States in 1836.
History and Origin of Pistol Patent Day:
Samuel Colt invented the pistol and he received Patent # 138 for it on this Holiday in 1836. The patent was for the Colt Revolver with a rotating chamber containing six bullets.
We thought perhaps this Holiday was to honor Samuel Colt but I don’t think so because Samuel Colt’s birthday is in July.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
