US Rifle, Cal. .30, M1917 Enfield

Originally developed at the Royal Small Arms Factory located at Enfield Lock, in Middlesex on the outskirts of London, the so-called P-14 used the .303 British cartridge. In 1914, prior to the entry of the U.S. into WW I, the British government contracted with American commercial arms manufacturers Winchester, Remington, and Eddystone (a division of Remington) to produce the P14 rifle in caliber in .303 for the British Army. When the Ordnance department looked for additional production capacity, they decided to modify the Enfield for the U.S. standard .30-06 cartridge as a way to quickly get more rifle production using the same factories that were producing the British version. The Model 1917 Rivle (often called the M-1917 Enfield or U.S. Enfield) was the result.

 This is the gun issued to and used by the real Sgt. Alvin York there is some confusion since Gary Cooper used a 1903 Springfield. There has been some controversy as to which rifle Sgt. York used, but most historians agree it was the 1917. Alvin York's son is on record as saying his father used a 1917, and not a 1903, regardless of what Gary Cooper used in the movie.

Remington Model 8 Rifle

 The Remington Model 8 is a John Browning design and was licensed to Remington in the U.S. and licensed to FN in Europe as the Browning 1900. It was marketed as a powerful semi-auto rifle in its .35 Remington chambering and sold to sportsman as a dangerous game rifle and to police for much the same reason. The Remington Model 8 in this caliber was one of the rifles chosen by the officers that ambushed and killed Bonnie and Clyde. Ammunition in this caliber is still manufactured and available, including Hornady’s LEVERevolution. Many hunters consider this rifle to still be a great woods rifle.

Kennesaw Georgia Crime Rates / Gun Law

The chart above shows crime rates in Kennesaw Georgia compared to similar sized cities in the region. Kennesaw GA officials attribute a drop in crime in the city over the past two decades to a law that requires residents to have a gun in the house.

 

In 1982, the Kennesaw City Council unanimously passed a law requiring heads of households to own at least one firearm with ammunition.

   

The ordinance states the gun law is needed to "protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants." If I were a criminal I would certainly think twice about breaking into a house in Kennesaw when you know there's a gun waiting on you inside!
