Magazine Article on the Johnson Rifle & LMG

[Ed Johnson 0]

To all members and users of this Johnson Website, operated and managed by James Pullen, as well as members of the Johnson Gun Club (via E-mail)....

Alasdair Macdonald was kind enough to forward me a copy of a magazine, which I read last night. Once again, Alasdair, I am most grateful.

I strongly recommend that all of you obtain a copy of this magazine through whatever source. It is "Firearms News" (formally Shotgun News) which has expanded into an actual color magazine format. It is the January 2018 issue number 2....repeat, 2....which has a photo of the Galil ACE Pistol on the cover. If you have trouble locating it, try calling the publishing office at 1 800 521 2885 for help.

I mention all this because it is the first time in my memory that an author (in this case, Mr. Jim Dickson) has taken such a strong position on the political issues that, as most of you know, affected the adoption of my father's weapons by the US military establishment. I know that Dad, and all the loyal folks who helped him design his rifles and machine guns, would appreciate the remarks, even at this late date.

Obviously, with my remarks, the article was very favorable. I freely admit to being biased....it doesn't bother me one bit....especially when I think of all the indignities and frustrations endured by Dad and our family over the years as he tried to deal with "the establishment."
