Gunny is it coming to Schutzenfest?

Might be dating myself .but, the first gun I bought myself and actually owned was a Hi-Standard Duramatic .22 brand new for $30 or less tax and all, at a gun shop. Local hardware and local farmer co-op gas station/garage only sold rifles , shotguns and ammo. A new 870 12 ga. plain barrel was...

U S NAVY, 6 years, left as an E-6, Fire Control Tech 1St Class.

Rifles used by the Legion, VFW etc, are still govt. property. They are given to the posts for funeral use, etc. I maintained the rifles for my VFW post for a long time, at one point the post was going to sell me 7 Krags they still had ( I had an FFL ), on inquiry the post found that the rifles...

Just to clarify a point made earlier the " Guns " on Navy Ships are NAVAL RIFLES, cannons are smooth bore, 3",5",6",8" and 16" were rifled tubes/barrels. Cal. is Bore x Length of tube/barrel ie. 5" 50 cal.= 5" bore 250" long "barrel". Larger Rifles had replacable rifled liners ( ie. 16" )

U S Navy, VN., every 30 days I had to fire 100 rounds MINIMUM from, M60, M 14, 45, and shotgun. I was on the ships landing force and security force. My have been just my command's policy, but we had the highest rated LF/SF in the fleet.

The numbers are ratings for stopping the bad guy. My dept. used them for years.

I understand that it will probably take many court challenges, based on many factors, I was just wondering if it were possible, not necessarily likely, but given the current majority of the SCOTUS, and the insult they received from the Executive branch at the SOTU adress, if it were at all...
