My grandpa went to school in Alaska back in the 20s or 30s and it was similar for him. He actually brought a rifle or shotgun with him to school even, sometimes so he could hunt on his way back home and also because this area was fairly rural he even ran into wolves a few times. He bought his guns at a local general store, just stopped by, talked to the proprietor about a good gun and bought it on the spot. Can you imagine a guy today in his 20s just buying a gun at a gas station with cash and bringing it with him to college?

@Tobias Rieper Well this movie was out 2019, and he took over the family store in 1935, 84 years before that. So if he was 6 when he took over the store he saw the movie when he was 90, if he was 16 when he took over the store he saw the movie when he was 100. We'll assume he was the legal age of 21 when he took over the store which I guess made him 105 when he saw The Highwaymen....

You can still get full auto gear with just a little paperwork bro. Unconstitutional infringement of a basic protected right, but you can still get them- just a bit of a headache. And how many shootings in our US history have used automatic weapons? Yeah, none. They use pistols and basic rifles. Fully automatic weapons (the hardest to legally obtain, despite not being used by criminals or maniac spree killers) are hard to use, hard to maintain, VERY expensive, they're incredibly heavy and bulky, and their entire functionality was designed for heavy warfare, where you need to get a massive dose of lead down range very quickly in order to suppress enemy troops and control their movement on the battlefield,- that and anti-material purposes, like shredding through a vehicle or guys in armor. That is the purpose of emptying a 30 round clip in two seconds, then needing to reload. In an active battlefield the purpose of that is to suppress the movement of masses of enemy troops, then you duck out real quick and reload while a buddy does the same. What sense would it make to do that while trying to gun down individual people in an enclosed space? I don't think a guy could shoot a school up effectively with a 50 pound BAR carrying god knows how much ammo if he TRIED. The weapon does not function well in an enclosed space like that, it wasn't designed to. It was designed for the opposite scenario.

Tyler Chambers ok so, it’s magazines not clips, and besides literal heavy machines guns automatics aren’t that heavy unless your weak as fuck. The BAR was a squad support weapon back before automatics were easy to make. Today’s m4 is light as fuck if your not super fucking weak. And you use automatics for increased firepower, if I’m firing at 10 guys that all have guns the only way I have a chance is if my gun fired faster. Also automatics work in any environment.

Your application will then be processed which can take some time to see if you’re a suitable person to hold a firearm and if your reason for wanting one is valid and then and only then you MIGHT be granted a firearms licence, also the local Police firearms officer can call at your house at anytime to check that you are storing your weapon in a proper secure gun cabinet and if it’s not he can confiscate the weapon on the spot .

​@@daveman9712 Little from column A, little from column B. Most departments back then were using revolvers in .32 Smith & Wesson Long or .38 Specials. Remember, .38 Special was still considered a powerful cartridge at the time, and not .38 Special +P, just .38 Special to black powder loadings. They had less power and the solid lead projectiles revolvers of the time often used tended to deform a lot on impact with something solid, so they'd either shatter into small pieces or smash flat and get caught by the doors. As for the car, depends on the model. Most cars today have thin sheet metal, with some noise canceling and thermal insulating foam inside, and a plastic insert on the other side. A Packard of this era on the other hand, had a solid wood framing bodywork, that was then covered in thicker sheet metal than they use today, which was also put on both sides. While something like a Ford Model T, which a few were still floating around in Heymer's time, were typically made with thinner wood and steel, and usually only metal on the outside. Plus its not really that hard for a gearhead of any era to crack open a door panel, which you can then stuff with more material to help put more between you and getting a slug in you, and if you plan on doing a lot of bank robberies, my guess is you're going to think of that and stuff something in there. Last thing I'll say, there are actually reports from this era of .45 ACP and .38 Super going through cars. When Auto Ordnance demonstrated the Thompson Submachine Guns, they bought a Ford Model A I think it was, and shot it up, and the rounds went through both sides with no problem.

@@kbanghart Guns and ammo can be a wise investment for many reasons. If well kept, they not only keep their value, but mature. The stock market and real estate markets could crash on a whim, but these will never loose value; In that unlikely situation, their value would skyrocket astronomically. However, that is the moment when you might need them the most to protect the most important commodity: Your life.

Great scene for Costner. Knows his character, knows his lines and knows the scene. Comes off relaxed and natural...

Awesome ASMR scene and I love the mannerisms of Costner in general and his raspy voice that is so relaxing to me. He walks in the door all quiet and checking out the location of each gun on the shelf before opening his mouth to "keep both of them" in the shop busy while he picked out others from the book that he had circled ahead of time. He didn't want to be pressured by a salesman mindset, so he took it to them first as the buyer and kept them busy. In retail, I loved it when the rare customer would come in and do this similar thing with me for various electronics products that were high value and I'd get to put this massive receipt on the employee board that other employees were in awe at. It wasn't that special, of course...but sure felt good at the time and made me feel like I was doing a really good since since management sucked.

was just thinking the same thing. the calm, low conversation, the soft clicking/clacking of things. interesting to listen to and also soothing in a way

I bought the DVD of "The Highwaymen," and I cannot praise it enough. Woody Harrelson, as usual, provides a stellar performance, portraying real-life Texas Ranger Maney Gault, with his conscience that he wears on his sleeve, yet is sharp as a brass tack when he faces THE moment of truth. And now that the pretty boy veneer has finally melted away, Kevin Costner shines like a newly minted coin as a pretty damn good actor, assuming a roughened, throaty way of speaking in portraying the real-life Ranger Frank Hamer, and carrying a hardened, determined and angry focus for hunting down and stopping the cold-blood killers Bonnie & Clyde. This particular scene of him "loading for bear" for the gun fight is particularly effective. He goes in and comes out with exactly what he knows he'll need for the ultimate encounter, which all master lawmen are capable. FOUR STARS for the film, FOUR STARS each for Harrelson and Costner. P.S. He orders weapons and ammo the way I order lox & cream cheese and a bag of bagels at my local deli.

Hell yeah! Gotta find some money from that time period though.

Mt grandfather once told me a story ... he had gone off to have a bit of adventure as a young man, and gave it all up when he was about 20 in 1928. He never talked about what he'd done, but ... so he was making his way home, and had made it to "someplace near St Louis" when he ran out of money. So he went to a pawn shop and pawned his gun. It got enough money to get him back to central New York. As the years went by, he had frequently regretted that decision, feeling there must have been a way to get that money and not part with his gun. Driving long-haul trucks about 40 years later, he arrived at a delivery early and had to wait for them to accept the load, so he went for a walk to see the town. He had no real idea where he was, but the place looked familiar. And there on the main street, in the window of a pawn shop, was his gun. He went in and said to the clerk, "I don't have my pawn ticket with me, but ..." and proceeded to tell him the story. In the end, he got the gun back for what he's pawned it for. And owned it for thirty more years. (I don't think he convinced them of the truth of it being his gun so much as he traded them a really good story for the gun.)

A couple of years ago my wife and I went into a Rural King store. Girl at the front door says, "Hi. Would you like to buy an AR15?" "Sure." Did the ATF paperwork and walked out with a S&W AR15. No ammo though. They were out of .223 and .556 This was during the big firearm shortage in the U.S. and Rural King had received a huge shipment of S&W's.

My grandfather owned a General Mercantile and farm implement business from 1907 through 1931. He stocked primarily Winchester rifles and the like. Thompson submachine guns were a special order and only sold a few. I Don't recall him mentioning the sale of Browning Automatic Rifles.

Best part is that he used none of those long guns himself. He used a Remington model 8 in .35 Remington . Both in real life and in the movie.
