I always loved The Andy Griffith Show. Then I found out Andy was a real life Democrat. Could that be why he never carried a gun?

Fact is that in real life Don Knotts was a dead on marksman. He used to win the Hollywood shooting contests every year. He only needed one bullet.

Could you imagine having a Hollywood shooting contest today?

Fact is that like most Democrats Andy knew he could count a Republican to bail him out.

You don't remember the show about the woman he was dating and her being able to out shoot him.

He did carry a gun at times on the show.

Andy had a gun. Barney's wasn't loaded.

Probably because the nearest dindu was over in Raleigh.

OR it could be because he was a character in a theater. Who knows...

Stupid is as stupid does. And this is a very stupid "question".
