Froggie, The quote reference the
'old Sheriff" is attributed to either Texas Ranger Glenn Elliott or Lone Wolf Gonzales,I believe. The comment was made at an after church function; relative to his cocked and locked 1911; and his reply indicated a shotgun rather than a rifle....haven't looked it up but Elliott was a semi-local ranger when I first hit the street and I really want to put the quote to him if memory serves.....which it only does in fits and spurts anymore
