Looks like his daughters are being taught right, too.

Amazing photos! Keep them coming if you have them. These images make me wish I could travel back in time.................and stay there.

In the same vein:

Massachusetts Senator John Kennedy, writer Gore Vidal and playwright Tennessee Williams target shooting at Kennedy's Palm Beach, FL, vacation home in 1958. Williams was a crack shot (despite what appears to be an innovative stance).

The past is a foreign country.

*sniff* Why did things change so much?

Okay, the "good old days" were not always so great:

L.A.-Police Department. 1930s. Two policemen and two ladies display a large collection of guns which are set to be thrown into the sea for disposal.

L.A.-Police Department. 1930s. Several men, in uniform and in civilian dress, ride a small boatload of guns out to sea where they will be disposed of by dumping into the water.

Boy, this is great stuff.

Notice on that Angeles range photo no one seems to be wearing eyes and ears.

Keep 'em coming.

Back in the day, everything "unwanted" was just tossed into the sea.
Not a great idea, in hindsight...

They should have just sold or auctioned them off.

**patsline74** · 12-10-2009, 5:30 PM
