Love that pic. My dad was a gunsmith in Joliet during that time. He had a Chicago policeman bring him 4 Thompsons the next day to service. Same Chicago policeman picked them up and paid him $5 cash for each gun. That was a lot of money in those days.

Dad said he knew where the guns (and money) came from but that he never had anybody but a policeman bring the guns in for cleaning and servicing.

Very interesting - thanks. There have been pretty credible rumors to the present day that some cops were involved in the massacre.

Nothing to do with this thread, but I like and admire your tagline. We just celebrated our 49th Friday -- and we still embarrass our teenage grandkids by holding hands... ;-)

May your happiness together last at least as long as ours has!
