: Charlton Heston's Gun Collection
: Gene_SC October 10, 2008, 11:20:36 PM

One of our members Peter aka "Old Hunter", asked me to show these pictures of the late Charlton Heston gun collection.

For those who don't know Charlton Heston ... he's the actor who played Moses in the movie 'The Ten Commandments' and played in

Ben Hur and countless other movies too.

He was an avid gun advocate ... now I can see why.

Holy Cow! Mr. Heston had enough armaments to equip an Infantry rifle company.

I like the North American Aero Commander he had parked in the driveway too.....

Wow if I could only hit those DAMN 6 numbers on the lottery.  That is a serious collection of weapons.

That's impressive there's probably more he had that we're not seeing too.

I came across these pictures a while ago. Sadly they are not Charlton Heston's =( They belong to a gun collector in Connecticut named Bruce Stern who passed away in 2007. Here is a detailed article about it and also about what type of guns he had.

Oh well, as it has been said many time before:

"BELIEVE ONLY HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE AND NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR"

That darn Snopes spoils everything.
