About

Alright, in about two minutes, we’ll be passing through the town of Virgin. Need to grab a bite? On your left will be Fort Zion, specializing in homemade ice-cream and cheesy photo-ops. Looking to grab and go? Virgin Goods Bookstore, further down on the left, carries baked goods you can snag for your trip. 

Virgin, or “Pocketville” as it was originally named, was established in 1857. Today, this tiny town has an unusual claim to fame. Virgin is one of the few towns in the United States where it is illegal for any citizen to not own a gun. Strange as it sounds, in the year 2000, the Virgin Town Council passed an ordinance requiring a working firearm to be housed in every residence. ...Say, um, you paid for that ice cream, right?
