Muskets, bayonets, Confederate war heroes. Just a sample of some of the cool stuff Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson keeps in his office. In our latest HuTube vlog episode, we get Patterson to give us a tour.

While we were at the General Land Office interviewing Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson for a different story, we noticed the retired Marine keeps a lot of guns and other trinkets in his office. He graciously offered to give us a tour, a la MTV's "Cribs". He calls it junk. We thought it was pretty cool stuff.
