"When I enlisted in the Marines, I swapped Wallace Cox a nice Luger for a Colt .45 auto, it occurring to me for the first time in my life that it might become necessary for me to shoot a human being with a handgun. I don't recall the reason now, but when I boarded the troopship to go overseas, i was wearing a pair of S&W Military and Police .38 Specials instead of the .45. I was also armed with an issue Browning Automatic Rifle(BAR).

One day at sea, the young lieutenant of my thrown-together platoon summoned me,informed me he knew of the nonissue revolvers, and ordered me to dispose of them. I sold them to a sailor.

They let me keep the BAR."

Skeeter Skelton, April 1976

Exception proves the rule?

RHIP.

Good shooting.
