:04:09
- Ten-ho!
:04:12
- Each gun makes lots
of battle sounds.

:04:15
Just press the trigger,
and listen.

:04:18
- That sounds like a gun battle.
Over there.

:04:20
- Is it real?
- Looks like real!

:04:23
Hey, it sounds like real!
:04:26
- Right! The Sound-O-Power
military and western rifles

:04:29
by Marx!
:04:31
- This was my first gun.
:04:34
I couldn't wait to go outside
and shoot up the neighbourhood.

:04:38
Those were the days.
"I was born

:04:40
"in Michigan
:04:43
"and I wish and wish again
that I was back

:04:46
"in the town where I was born"
:04:49
- By the time I was a teenager,
:04:51
I was such a good shot
:04:52
I won the National
Rifle Association's

:04:55
Markman award.
You see,

:04:57
I grew up in Michigan,
:04:59
a gun-lover's paradise.
:05:00
And so did this man,
:05:03
the Oscar-winning actor
and president

:05:05
of the National
Rifle Association,

:05:08
Mr. Charlton Heston.
:05:13
We come from a state
where everyone

:05:15
loves to go hunting.
:05:18
- Hah.
- Even the dogs.

:05:20
- There were actually
two of the hunters at camp.

:05:23
They thought
they'd get a few pictures

:05:25
of the dog dressed up
as a hunter

:05:27
to kind of just have some fun
around camp.

:05:29
And one of the guys
had the idea that,

:05:31
"Why don't we sling a rifle
on the dog's back

:05:34
to make the pictures
a little more interesting.

:05:37
The victim was kneeling down
in front of the dog

:05:40
when the weapon slipped.
:05:42
The one round went through
the victim's shin,

:05:45
the right part of his shin,
:05:47
and came out through
the back of his calf.

:05:49
- Was the dog hauled off for any
period of time by the police?

:05:52
- No, it wasn't. No.
:05:54
Um, in Michigan,
the law basically states

:05:58
that people can commit crimes
that animals
