Interesting, they seem to be able to hit their targets, even with a Tommy Gun. See how much simpler things once were

They had to be good when Public Enemy No 1 was on the loose...

I don't see any ear plugs either. Wow nice shooting though.

Yep, that's from the days of folks like Ed McGivern and the other Exhibition Shooters for the Big Gun Companies. They really knew how to shoot!

My great grandfather was an LA County Sheriff deputy then. He had a whole wall covered with guns and knives he had confiscated over the years. When he died his cop buddies swooped in and cleared the place out before the family could even come over and claim the heirlooms. Scumbags.

First Machine Gun I ever fired was a Schnellfeuer Broomhandle Mauser in the hills around LA. Must have been 8 years old.

Imagine that? Something like that would never, ever, happen today. Really sad to see what California has become...

My First Shooting was done with an M-1 Thompson that had a Horizontal Forend added. My Dad was the CO for HQ Company, 4th Infantry Division at Ft. Lewis, WA and this was his Weapon of Choice. I was 5 or 6 and it's my earliest memory and boy is it a keeper!

Yep, those were the days when you wouldn't get fired for taking something home. Of course, you were expected to "Share" the Spoils of War with the Brass but there always seemed to be enough to go around.

 

[EPS]

Yep this was years ago when I was under 15 years old lol I'm 47 now

 

[old11bravo]

That was entertaining!

 

[EPS]

I wonder if these where the guys that would go to Schools and teach gun safety LOL

 

[old11bravo]

Just a young buck! Try 52....

BTW 52 is the new 32, just sayin'.

 

[EPS]

So that means I'm actually 27

 

[KKG]

I've done that and also taught Hunter Ed in the Public Schools. Again that's something that can't be done anymore and everyone can see what is happening. Their bringing Guns and Teaching each other!

Some how I think the old way was just a bit better.
