This gun is no longer legal. I don't object.

Sorry John, you got it all wrong.

Please note that punt guns were used in early CFL games before technology advanced to the point where a football could be kicked high enough to go over the cross bar. Later when the Americans started to play the game they imported the Canadian kicking boots ( with the kickers still inside of them ).

At that time in order to find a use for all these surplus punting guns, many were converted to duck guns.

Feel free to ask me any historical questions whenever you like John, for I am here to serve.:bow:

Ken, I knew you would come up with the correct solution. You always seem to do so at the right moment during a different points of views being posted. I for one appreciate your wisdom and total recall of facts in such matters.
