Utah should allow law abiding citizens the chance to bid for a spot on the firing squad.

Back in the 1900’s my Grandfather told me they did.

I believe the governor received several hundred requests from volunteers to be on Gary Gilmore’s firing squad. They even offered to bring their own rifles and ammo.

“Utah should allow law abiding citizens the chance to bid for a spot on the firing squad.”

Citizens were begging for a slot on the rifle team for Gary Gilmore. Would have to check but I think Model 94’s were used. Need to start cranking these things up...would be lots of volunteers.
