      It's not uncommon to have the bolts removed for parades.

          Plus they also had rifles specifically for parades that were usually plugged.

                      By 1944, I think we were used to guns pointed in our direction.

                                          Yeah. Those 17 year olds captured Fortress Europe and brought the Big Red Meatball to its knees, so....
                                          Urban legends are a poor basis for making public policy.

                                                  That's okay, then.

                                                      That's okay, then.

                                                      Probably the CA State Guard (Militia), a separate organization during the war.

                                                      Note the obsolete equipment (helmets and 03's w/long bayonets), and the fact that the National Guard had already been mobilized and was on active duty in 1944.

                                                          As others have said, most likely parade rifles, but even if they weren't, we can hopefully assume that in an age where firearms were a normal part of life, people would have better firearms safety practices than we see today.
