Norwegian Goods


Today's featured article on Wikipedia is an interesting one: The Krag-Petersson rifle. It's an oldie but goodie from Norway, an extremely rare antique firearm used only by the Royal Norwegian Navy, to hunt whales presumably.

Speaking of antiques, I think police departments should do the same as the sports teams that have old-timers day and wear vintage uniforms. Nothing would scare a bank-robber more than looking at the business end of a bayoneted rifle in a bull market. And for something more recent and local to New York, how about Early 70's Day for the NYPD? Let's bring back a real man's stache and the "green and whites" of Plymouth Fury's.
