RIFLE CLUB

State Trooper, Robert Palladino, points out sev–

eral valuable factors about police guns to interest–

ed

N. R. A. onlookers. He streues the importance

of the tear gas gun in police work.

At U.S. Armory in Uniontown, Notional Rifle

Association members inspect firearms.

The

N.

R.

A.

is designed to en–

courage safety in the handling and

firing of guns and to produce goad

marksmen. The club teaches that a

gun is either a dangerous weapon

or an instrument of pleasure.

To familiarize members with the ac–

tual firing of guns, a trip was mode

to Connellsville Marine Base. In–

structed by Marines, members fired

Marine T-21 rifles and .22 cal. pis–

tols on an indoor range.

Since the mo jor aim of the club

is "safety first", the group visited the

U. S. Armory in Uniontown to view

a demonstration in safety and to

hear a lecture on police weapons.

They learned to lood ammunition

manually.

Members who participated in all

phases of club activity and fired a

rifle and pistol efficiently were

awarded certificates of attainment.

Lt.

Francis lemansky of the Uniontown

Police Deportment demon.strotes the cor–

rect way to load ammunition cartridges.

At the some time many view the display

of police tear gas equipment.
