Loving your Gun

[Pryderi]

Anybody remember this?

Interesting gun position...Cialis should use this instead of bath tubs

[AsahinaKimi]

1. I think that character would have prefered a gattling gun

"LUCKY ME!"

[Deep13]

2. Ah, the good old days when one could walk through town randomly shooting. nt

[RufusTFirefly]

3. When the obsession is guns, there's usually a subtext

Hilarious case in point

What wise guy wrote that one?

7. Even though it was in 3rd or 4th reruns I loved that show as a kid

BTW Chuck Connors played professional baseball and was a writer too.

[Highway61]

22. Played basketball as well

Played for the Boston Celtics

8. LOL I do remember it.

Rifleman was a badass dude. I wouldn't want to cross him.

9. I loved it too as a kid, especially the close father-son relationship

which was always touching. My favorite show as a kid was a Rifleman spin-off and one of the few positive portrayals of Native Americas on TV. The Law Of The Plainsman starred Michael Ansara as federal marshall Sam Buckhart, a Harvard-educated Apache who returned to the frontier to serve justice. Sam Buckhart started out as a character on The Rifleman.

11. I saw Chuck Connors after he was in "Werewolf"...

[Hawaii Hiker]

12. "The Rifleman" is on Saturday mornings on AMC

[another_liberal]

13. "Pa! Pa! . . ."

What was his kid's name? The one who always came running and yelling "Pa! Pa!"

He was like a warning siren that went off whenever somebody needed shooting.

[Pryderi]

15. Mark. See pic

[skamaria]

17. Man that is some serious wood! n/t

[another_liberal]

19. Looks like Chuck . . .

Thanks, great photograph! As was noted above: It looks like Chuck has wood.

16. I LOVED that show!

He was a single parent, who didn't wear a gun. Seemed like an anti-gun type of show to me.

[KansDem]

18. A little off topic, but do you remember "Branded?" (1965-66)

In this Western series, Jason McCord, the only survivor of the Battle of Bitter Creek, is court-martialed and kicked out of the Army because of his alleged cowardice. Rather than demean the good name of the Army commander who was actually to blame for the massacre, McCord travels the Old West trying to restore his good name and reputation.

For those of us going through "Rifleman withdrawal"

[kxm40]

24. LOL

Yes I do

[another_liberal]

20. After the episode's dead were all gathered-up . . .

After the episode's dead were all gathered-up and buried, there might even be a quiet moment when some precious gem of paternal wisdom would be shared with the youthful co-star. Quite touching, in a blood-splattered sort of way.

[Historic NY]

23. Yes it was made & modified for the series...

1892 .44-40 Winchester carbine. The gun itself was specially modified with a large loop and metal tab so it could fire rapidly for the show, one of three.

I have a similar model made much later.
