Several Massachusetts schools have removed the rifle from the Minuteman in their logos.

Don't you mean "Minuteperson?"

ParadiseRoad, your response reminded me of Escambia High School. They were the Rebels, when we played them back in the early 70s. I knew there had been a name change, but until I just looked it up I was not aware of how bad things had been. Shootings, cross burnings, riots. Damn.

...Alpo...thanks for the link...very interesting...it really hits home with me...

I just talked to a guy name Ned Kessler who was Pistol Pete for OSU in 1971. He said the guns din't have any modifications or provisions for firing blanks, they were the same as anything else you would buy at the gun store. He said they didn't take the guns to road games even back then. It would be impolite to shoot'em off and make a bunch of noise when you are the visitor. Some of those places were pretty hostile and they might start shooting back!

I remember reading, back a couple of years ago, that a Committee of Safety musket from the Revolutionary War was seen in a Mass museum sporting a trigger lock!!!
