Guns Magazine, August 1957

"Is the Tommy Gun a Police Weapon?"

"Whose Fault is it if the Police Can't Shoot?"

Looks like a special "Only Ones" edition, doesn't it? My favorite anecdote is the one about the police lieutenant who couldn't figure out how to uncock his pistol without firing it, especially juxtaposed against a Crossfire letter complaining "The police here are very reluctant indeed to allow private citizens to own or use rifled weapons."

The August 1957 issue of GUNS Magazine, including the classic period ads, is now online.
