How times have changed. Looks like a good solution.

Shooting practice???

Making a delivery.

Great story, gives me even more respect for the 4 Bore. I looked up the size of a 4 Bore slug and it was a touch over an inch.

Name the actors? Extra credit for the movie & gun ID. I don't know the answers but I figured somebody on TGO probably does.

Young recruit or Boy Scout?

Highway Patrol???

I had planned to do something similar with shot shells and never got around to it. I have used my S&W Governor with .410 shells to do Bee Skeet, a lot of fun but more misses than hits.

Just remembered one other rate increase event that y'all should watch for. A while back when Experian had the big security leak I put a lock on my credit reports. When my insurance policies came due I noticed one had increased a lot. I contact my agent and he said he would check and get back. A few days later he called and said that rates were partially based on my credit rating and the lock had sent back an error that they had interpreted as a big drop in credit rating. When they fixed that, the bill dropped back to about what it had been the year before. I then had him check my other policies and they had done the same thing and I just didn't notice so they send me a refund check.

Could be, 1944 was what the label on the photo said, I didn't check my history.

Sorry, no idea.

Get out the big guns.

Jimmy Dean would have been 17 in 1945 and his career didn't take off till he was in his early 20s so it would have been unlikely he was hanging with Lawrence Welk. Does look like him.

Good hunt

Could be, I was just taking a guess, to low resolution to see much but almost looks like a double barrel to me.
