I did find this....
Firearms. The firearm display includes a Colt .41 caliber revolver, one of the main guns used in the "Old West" during the late 1800s. It was called a Colt Frontier six-shooter and like the Colt "Peace Maker," was favored by lawmen. The Colt .22 caliber is a "Police Positive" gun with a patent date back to 1884. The Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver was manufactured in the 1930s - 1940s. This was a typical type weapon used into the 1970s, when semi-automatic pistols started showing up. The "38 Special" was often used by Visalia police officers until 1975.

Enforcement. A popular museum exhibit is the fully restored 1956 Harley Davidson three-wheel motorcycle, which was used in downtown traffic enforcement. It was assigned to Officer Floyd "Pappy" Depew in the 1960s. Upon Officer Depew's retirement, the motorcycle was given to him. His daughter, Leslie Oberholzer, donated it to the Visalia Police Association several years ago. The Association has restored the three-wheeler and it is maintained in running condition.

Thanks, Johnny. The local Harley shop had one identical to it before they closed. That could be the same one. I love those Goulding sidecars. So classic.

Thanks for the note on old Floyd. Sounds like one of the old time policemen for sure. Not too many of them left around.

HAAAA!

Just found out our governor signed off on us Arizonans being able to carry concealed without a permit! I might make an ankle holster for my Derringer, now.

I just noticed your SASS number Santee; Darn, you've been at this a while! The lowest number I've personally met is 54 something something. You guys from AZ are leading the Country in keeping our 2nd Amendment rights alive; way to go! JD

[santee]

Yeah, I've been a SASS member since '95. Interesting, watching the sport grow. Kinda scary, too. I'm not certain CAS became exactly what the original founders envisioned, but it has gotten a lot of "inner cowboys" interested and havin' fun!!

[Ned Buckshot]

Oh yes the changes!

When I started shooting CAS we used targets that held paper plates and we'd go up and tape the holes after every shooter, timed with a stop watch etc etc.

My number is very close to Santee, I'm SASS # 2901!

Here's a picture of one of our first targets. It hangs in my shop to remind me of the good ol days.

I wanted to join back in 94 or so, when I first heard of it, but there were no local clubs around then (and I was a flat broke college kid with a Walker and a Remmy).
I am glad I finally jumped in and did it.

That's neat, Ned. The group I was in had a member who made steel plates for us to use (I think to keep costs down). Back when all you really needed was 1 pistol to go with your rifle and shotgun...

[Ned Buckshot]

We shot in the backyard of one of the members. Generally only one gun per stage like only handgun on one then only rifle on another etc.

What fun those days were! We didn't even add up the scores most of the time, everybody knew who won and nobody cared!

Long live the spirit of the "North Star Pistoleros"!

Ned

[JD Alan]

That's very cool guys!

[Ned Buckshot]

I talked to my kids in Oklahoma last night and my oldest Elizabeth got some wonderful news.

She just received notice that she has been awarded a FULL ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP to the University of Oklahoma Pre-Med program!!! This program is rated very high nationally! She wants to go into medical research.

Good thing she takes after her Mom!

I am so proud I could bust!

I just had to share the joy!! It's the first time in many months I've really smiled.

Ned

[Johnny McCrae]

Howdy Ned,
My heartiest congratulations to you. That is wonderful news. You have every right to be so very proud of Elizabeth. I wish her much success at Oklahoma and in her upcoming career. Ned, thank you for sharing this with us.

[KidTerico]

Hi Ned that is indeed a HONOR. You have every reason to be proud. Good for her. KT

[JD Alan]

That is Awesome news Ned. I'm not sure she completely takes after her mother though, I think you may have had something to do with it yourself!.

I've got some good news too. Yesterday I sold my Harley, something I've been trying to do for months., The guy bought it sight unseen. He lives in Seattle, about 185 miles from me. He's paying me an additional 150 to take it up to Seattle. He's a senior VP for Wells Fargo bank, so I'm fairly confident the deal will go throug, as I have a down payment coming in the mail.

Hallelujah!   

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That's really something, Ned. Congrats to her. You can be proud of her. So cool.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

OK, the wifi here is too slow for my tastes. I'll have to catch up later on. Good work, pards.

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

     Great news Ned, I know how proud you must be.
