Next time Pusser could be played by Lucy Liu or Michaela Jaé Rodriguez.
That’s a long way from having your face or head blow off.
Who said anything about “head blow off.”? I said “ shot 2 or 3 times” which came from the Wikipedia article. It also said he had multiple reconstructive surgeries. Wardaddy said “face blown off”, a figure of speech, which was probably an exaggeration. He was a big man, but I think it would be hard to shoot yourself in the face with a carbine without severe powder burns.
30 carbine with ball is a perpetration beast.
You’ll have to educate me.
I have no idea who that is.
I am curious about the hat as well.
I agree.
I can't imagine there being much that can be gleaned from a body in the grave for over 50 years and it was obvious at the time of the crime that the individual was shot.
You have a better chance finding useful evidence in the car if it still exist un molested.
C'mon...And were talking about the 60s where reconstructive surgery was primitive...
Btw, I have some pics of some unfortunate individuals who've had their faces/heads blown off with 1 round...All of them were killed in the process. I won't post them here to show you...They'd be deleted anyway...
Kirksey Nix an evil man
Not optimal agreed but effective enough
Wehrmacht picked em up and used em
Liked the lightness
Man U could buy them for nothing in my youth direct in Boys Life etc
Course a Garand was only 99-150
I bought Norinco SKS early 2000s three for 250 at gun shows
Well my wife did
My only point here was the wife ends up shot to death, and the husband I’m told took 3 rounds to the head and survived...We’re talking lottery luck here.
And if I were an investigator on that case, I would have taken a real close look at the surviving husband. And based on the fact they’re wanting to exhume the wife’s body seems to indicate they might not have. No?

Reaching partner
Plus no evidence he ever more than absolutely adored her
My wife is related to Buford Pusser, and dreamed that night that he was killed or died. She woke up and told her mother that she dreamed uncle Buford was dead.
I think I have told us here before
Her mother told her child he was killed last night and we’re not sure if it was an accident
C’mon, It would not be the first time people were shocked to find a loving husband took his wife out. Happens a lot.
Not saying that happened here, but ya never know. Obviously some questions remain or some new information has surfaced. Otherwise they would not be exhuming the wife’s body.
His name is Kenneth Toby. He was in the movie Walking Tall and killed Pusser’s wife in a drive by.
You may remember him as the guy running the gas station who bought the ashtray in Gremlins. He did a bunch of other stuff too.
From “Shots Fired in Anger” by LTC (then LT) John George, a rifle champion who fought on Quadalcanal and then in Merrill’s Marauders . The Marauders walked 800 miles through jungles and the Himalayas to attack behind Japanese lines, wreaking havoc.
“-The oft-mentioned ability of the Tommy gun to hit and kill at ranges up to five hundred yards is pure theoretical hokum. Practically speaking, the gun will always be an ultra short range weapon, good in the jungle and in street fighting, but poor where the least measure of accuracy is called for. Another most serious limitation is poor penetration. Bullets that bounce off a hard wood surface at 50 yards are not good brush-rakers. Firing a Tommy into the jungle blindly is not effective because so many of the bullets would be stopped by vines and branches. The greater power of military rifle cartridges, fired from full-automatic rifles and machine guns would be preferable for such work. The standard Japanese bullet-proof vest, which would not even slow down a carbine bullet, stopped .45 slugs cold, whether fired from pistols or Tommy guns.
...The advent of the carbine later on in the war eliminated, in my opinion, the last need for a Tommy gun. The carbine made a much more accurate offensive weapon, and a much quicker pointing and more accurate defensive weapon. The lighter weight and greater penetrating power of the .30 caliber carbine catridge increased this superiority even more.”
Pages 395-396.
I agree with your opinion. It’s dragnet2 and Tucker39 who thinks the sheriff murdered her/ shot himself. Him shooting himself with a carbine sounds ludicrous to me.
Don’t lie. I never suggested or implied that. Try reading the words before burping up bull s**t.
