Posted on 06/06/2013 6:17:11 AM PDT by Envisioning

Vintage early color footage of the LASD Pistol Team at Biscailuz Range during a skilled shooting exhibition over 75 years ago in 1936. Legendary Marksman and LASD Aero Bureau aviation pioneer Sgt. Sewell Griggers featured. Also includes documentary footage demonstrating how the BC shooting range was used and maintained.


TOPICS: History; Miscellaneous; Society
KEYWORDS: banglist; guncontrol; guns; la; secondamendment; shooting
Interesting footage. The shooting exhibition is INSANE from a gun safety perspective.

"All deputies guns are recorded before being fired at the range."

They had a problem with "ham sandwiches" clear back then.

Didn't catch that! Wonder how much the ammo was?

Funny when the 'trainee' shows up and pulls his pistol and points it at the range master who quickly admonishes him.

“Interesting footage. The shooting exhibition is INSANE from a gun safety perspective.”

The present Pithican Parasites in ill fitted uniforms are a far cry from the LEO’s of that era.

“I’ll see you next month” meant six times the practice a LEO of today.”

Little wonder plastic pistol like a Glock & Spray-N-Pray training took over when monthly (or more frequently) raining was no longer required.

You can keep the cigars. I'd love pistol ammo at $5.50 per box, though. That was some serious money in those days.
