This is one of my favorite pics. John Wayne and William Holden shooting a Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum dressed up like damnyankees on the set of The Horse Soldiers.

It’s a Getty image so I can’t embed...you’ll need to click the link to see it.

Thanks Mac.  There are two other pictures from the same day but this is the best.  Story is it was Holden’s .44.

Tell me about it...those soccer moms get pretty hostile if you violate the car line etiquette in some way.

Heh... Seems like it would help ensure no one violates the etiquette. 

I'd just have to make a point to get upwind of the jackwad who sits in the line with their exceedingly stinky diesel truck on high idle.  I'll bet the tank smells worse.  

And you're allowed to have a gun in your car with a permit, so shouldn't be an issue there.

Couldn't find a MPG rating for the M size tanks but one of the bigger ones got .6 MPG. That is 60 miles to the 100 gallon fill up.

US soldiers trying out a captured German 88mm Panzerschrek RPzB 54 (antitank rocket launcher) 1944. This is what they use against you if you jump line picking up your kids in the Grant.

Sounds about like the 350 Chevy pickup I drove 35 years ago ...

Wonder what the story is on this picture.
