A book about guns. And if you don’t have a gun....
The ultimate pop-up book!
Who writes these headlines? It sounds like someone found a gun in a hollowed out book and donated it to the library.
Probably the owner died and this was disposed of as part of the estate.
The police are knee-jerk anti-gun nuts.
This is obviously an old, historically valuable weapon that has probably been in that book since the original owner died and his heirs were unaware of what it was.
It belongs in a display case, not in a police department locker.
My uncle used to have a pair of black powder, muzzle loading dueling pistols in the drawer of his library, along with loading rod, a few patches, and some lead balls. Those things are really cool, not something for the police to confiscate and mistreat.
ASM = Armi san Marco
Italian maker active in the 1970’s & 80’s
They made thousands of replica revolvers.
“...a gold, wooden handle, A.S.M. brand, .31-caliber, single shot, black powder gun...”
Which the typical journalist would call a “Glock”.
