Dear visitor,
Mark Moss told me a funny story and sent pictures (three here) of a shotgun the staff kept on-hand at KAAY. Pat Walsh said it was gonna be there for protection. Wayne Moss took the bird shot out of it and loaded it with buckshot! It's a Marlin magazine-fed bolt-action model, no telling what vintage. Wayne had painted it with camouflage colors... after all, he WAS a hunter! But now Mark has a great piece of KAAY and his dad's history.
Per Mark: "It was located in the main long hallway, hung on a pair of hooks above the door before you got to the rear parking lot exit. It was very close to my dad's office (which was probably no accident). Dad was notorious about having a pistol with him when he went to work. Dad was a firm believer in people having access to protection in the station, particularly in the late hours, as the station wasn't in the best part of town." Mark mentioned that this particular studio was near the Capitol building.
Thanks Mark, for sharing!
Bud S.
