Back in the day those rifles

were real as were the revolvers

that Clyde Beatty & other cat

trainers used in the acts but

EVERBODY was REALY careful with

them & I don't know of mishaps

Nowadays we go through a long

list of precautions to render

them unable to chamber rounds

except for special blanks

I don't recall the significance

of the old tire in this gag

This looks like a 12 gauge single shot

I still have tons of 12 gauge casings

that we used to make blanks out of

with our special blend of powders

I would hope that everyone would

know who portrayed "Weary Willie"
