"BOZ" SAID:
How did Oswald's rifle end up on the 6th floor of the TSBD?
CHRIS SAID:
You have to be kidding! It was used from the 6th floor window, and to leave it as evidence to implicate Oswald, it was left on a pallet between some books.
If your question was how did it get up to the 6th floor BEFORE the shooting, Oswald probably took it there and told someone that it was there. He may have used the paper bag that has been identified with his prints.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
But it's out of the realm of possibility that Oswald HIMSELF utilized that particular weapon to fire some shots at President Kennedy at 12:30 PM, correct?
(Cue the Carolyn Arnold story here....even though -----> Click Here.)
ANTHONY MARSH SAID:
Correction: 12:31 PM.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Correcting Tony's correction:
The assassination occurred at 12:30 exactly. (See the "Reclaiming History" book excerpt below.)
"JOHN PAUL JONES" SAID:
I heard of a video that shows police hoisting a rifle from the roof of the TSBD that did not have the strap and was not a Carcano?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Boy, I'd sure love to see that video. That would certainly be a bombshell.
I'm guessing that "John Paul Jones" is probably thinking of the Mentesana film, which shows the police holding one of their own rifles or shotguns outside the TSBD, not on the "roof".
JOHN McADAMS SAID:
It's a shotgun, and Tony [Marsh] has actually identified the model, since it was standard with the Dallas cops:

But earlier in the film, there is a brief shot of a cop on the fire escape of the TSBD.
Groden seems to have inferred that the long gun in the earlier sequence was a rifle, and that it was brought down and examined.
Bogus, as is typical with Groden.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Thank you, John McAdams.
