Shorpy.com is an absolute gem of a treasure, of some of the best old photos you'll ever see.

Haha, you're welcome! ^^

A quote from my grandmother, married to a career navy officer that was also a competitive shooter in and out of service.

"No, I don't go shooting. The ear muffs mess up my hair, and I can't abide the banging."

Which turned into a family joke for multiple obvious reasons.

The fundamentals of safety we use today wouldn't be invented for another 2 decades. At the time keeping your finger on the trigger was a fairly universal practice.

At least with revolvers they didn’t have to worry about one in the chamber.
