I have lived in Kentucky almost my whole life. My folks moved here before my first birthday.
Before that they lived in Dodge City, Kansas the place I was born.
I recently found this photo which was taken in Dodge City in 1976.
The other thing I have from Dodge City that came from 1976... The Ruger Mark I my father bought there.
What is funny is that I had the gun for several years before I noticed the writing on the top.
MADE IN THE 200TH YEAR OF AMERICAN LIBERTY
