If that thing could talk....

It would say:

Shoot Me

 

[DTrain]

Cool!

That is so cool..........

It shoots as nice as it looks

It really makes people laugh when I take it to the trap line.

....you might start itching from that poison ivy you've laid that shotgun on.....it's the lighter green five-leaf stuff.....

I think it is non poisoness Virginia Creeper

Nice gun!!! BTW, that flora don't even come close to looking like poison ivy...

"leaves of three... leave it be..."

When it is really "hot" it has blistered leaves with visible oily sheen...

Are the state troopers still looking for it?

Nice gun.

I contacted the historian at the Washington State Patrol who said that these were issued in the 1950's and surpluses in the mid 1990's when the last officers issued the Model 12 retired.

nice

What a neat old gun. It sure doesn't look like it spent 40 years in a cruiser rack though. Some Captain or other admin type at HQ had that gun I'd bet!

The pic with the suitcase was a novel touch!
