Did Lincoln own any weapons?

[RJNorton]

When I began teaching the 8th grade social studies curriculum covered the period up to 1850. Later it was changed and covered 1850-present (although I rarely got much past WWII). I was also required to teach other topics such as the Illinois Constitution. In c.1988 a unit on the Holocaust was added to the curriculum for my class. Additionally, we has a unit on careers in which students picked a career and researched it for class.
