I watch The Rifleman on Saturday mornings while drinking my coffee because basically it's the only thing in the 5-7 a.m.ish time slots that isn't a get rich quick scheme info-mercial. It's on AMC (ch. 130 on dish).
I liked the Rifleman. Like most of the westerns of this era, the hero tried to mind his own business and only kill people that needed killing, and then, only as a last resort. Words to live by!
I thought Chuck was a football player in college. Wiki says he was a professional basketball and baseball player. Big fella, though...
Interesting article...says he got his nickname "Chuck", playing first base, because he would always yell, "Chuck it to me, baby, chuck it to me!" to the pitcher.
He served in the Army during WWII, "spent most of the war as a tank-warfare instructor".
And, he was a Republican! (The good ones always are!)

The Blog Commandments
I. Commenting here is a privilege, not a right.
II. Disagreement is welcome, even encouraged, but spam, unduly profane, or offensive speech is subject to removal by the staff and management of this blog. Insults from the FBI (Foul mouthed, Boring and Ignorant) and anonymous trolls hardest hit.
III. Feel free to use, in unaltered form, any Photoshops I create with the 'Proof Positive' or @ProofBlog address on them. A simple link in return is all we ask, so anyone else who likes it knows where to find more.
IV. As a matter of policy, I never knowingly print lies or untruths in my blog or Tweets, unless I'm quoting correctly the liberal who told them.
