What a bunch of pansies.

Until the article eventually made reference to a 'weapon', I was tempted to point out that there is no pistol on the throwback jersey in the photo.

I tried a couple of years back to buy one of those jerseys but I had no luck finding one. Now I know why.

I'd love one of these retro jerseys. I'll email Billy D and ask him for one!

LOL, guess the Texarkana Gunslingers wouldnt have passed MLB rules either. Indy ball is more fun anyway.

I wonder how they feel about Elmer Fud and Yosemite Sam?

...downright un-American...

There was a handgun, specifically a revolver. But there was no pistol.

By the definifition I learned 50+ years ago, a revolver is not a pistol.

1: a handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel;

...Websters says: "A small firearm operated with one hand." the origin of the word is said to be Czech "pistal"....it's common and proper to call EITHER revolvers or semiautomatics pistols...

...OH...my bad...you said 50+ years ago...how 'bout THIS version...from 1943...nothin' like the original " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Samuel colt called his revolvers, pistols.
I never understood the objections to calling ship a boat, a rifle a gun, a revolver a pistol or even a magazine a clip. I drives some people nuts, which makes it just more fun to use the non PC terms. Just because some people don't like the terminology doesn't mean that it is wrong.

If I mention a Handgun clip most people know what I'm talking about. Handgun Magazine might be something different.

...another PC argument...and those of us who are simply interested in communicating catch a lot of flak from those who insist we hold our mouths just right...

I might buy an honest retro Houston jersey. There's no way I would buy an emasculated yankeefied Houston jersey.

I have a membership card to the Colt 45s club, from back in the day in Houston ... it's attached to my Webelos neckerchief holder thingy from Scouts

Looks about like this, except my name is on it
