Sparky Nelson Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Wow, that was amazing. You could get a year of the Daily Chronicle for only $5 more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 That was a nice article, until that last paragraph, where it pretty much said that if you have a gun you will shoot the neighbors. >The Chronicle Premium Pistol offer lasted through 1889, when I assume the Chronicle owners started to feel the economic effects of subscribers accidentally shooting each other.< For those, like me, who were curious about the "Colt's Magazine Rifle". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt-Burgess_rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
