Jake Petmecky? Didn't he have one of the handful of Python's in 41 Mag?
Possibly. Last time I saw him was about 1970 way after he had sold the shop on Congress ave. He was gunsmithing at T’s sporting goods in his retirement. It was a shop west of Oak Hill on SH 71. Close to the Thomas Springs road intersection. Kinda one of them last chance shops before the highland lakes and hill country.

Rock Chuck: I have brought "Rifles into play" many thousands of times from dozens of different vehicles! I think your contention is incorrect. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy Take a look at the photo from the movie. The muzzles were well under the dash. They would have had to lift the stocks above the seat backs, pull the guns back, then figure out how to aim through the windshield, all while Hamer was aiming straight at them from the front. They would have had to open the doors and step out to use them. Hamer actually put himself in a fairly safe spot, not to mention being well out of the line of fire of the other 5 cops. Many years ago, we used to drive the desert roads at night spotlighting jack rabbbit's. I shot a lot from the driver's seat. However, I had a Jeep and the windshield was down. It was the only way to use a rifle to shoot straight forward without getting out.

The movie also committed one of those Hollywood sins that damned near everything in Hollywood set in Louisiana does. The sheriff had a cajun accent. He was 200 miles north of any real Cajuns. Ha, told my wife the same thing. We watched it Sat night. Pretty good show and seemed accurate enough from what I’ve read of the events. It’s of historical significance to us. Frank is my wife’s great great great uncle

Ain’t no decline in the logging industry down here. Just in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t support that many people. For the most part, the logging industry didn’t get going good until most of the people cleared out. Damned near every one of those thousands of acres of pine woods were at one time covered in corn and cotton. But the boll weevil and soil depletion got the cotton and the Depression finished off those small farms.
In the county where I grew up in, it was the 2010 census before there were as many people as there were in the 1890 census. And even then, most of those were concentrated in one town instead of being spread out all over the county like they were in 1890.
I hear people talk about habitat depletion and urban enroachment all the time. That ain’t true in most of the rural south. Lots of those counties have more “wild” areas than at any time since white settlement began.[/quote]
We've got the same in the area I grew up in. Most of what has been nothing but woods/timber in my lifetime was either cotton or sugarcane fields 70 years ago. The closest "town" that used to have a school and a post office now has neither and over 100 people less than it did in the 1900 census.

It’s been all of three days since I hit the brakes on my pickup, poked my Marlin 30 30 out the window and shot at a coyote hightailing it across a wheat field. I do it an about a weekly basis.
I even hit one occasionally, but if I’m serious, I replace the Marlin with a Hornet or 244 AI. They have barrels short enough to be handy in a pickup. I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Did you see the movie?

One of Frank's brothers was Harrison, also a Texas Ranger. One of Harrison's sons (Frank's nephew) was Clinton P Hamer, also a Texas Ranger. Clint married Georgia Ware and they had three daughters, all three still living. My wife's grandmother is one of those three daughters. It ain't all that spread out, really. My FIL was pretty close to Clint and used to hunt mule deer with him in west Texas. Remember Harrison died in '77 and Clint in '90. My wife attended Clint's funeral as a child. I visited with his wife Georgia a couple times and attended her funeral in '07.

I am watching it again and keeping an eye out for anomaly’s. 😁. I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I noticed that the shotgun hulls they picked up on the roadside appeared to be plastic and not paper.
