My grandfather was friends with Ray back when I was a boy. My Grandpa used to be president of the S.G.C.A. and ran the gun shows in Regina.

Ray was a true gentleman of the gun show circuit. He was a knowledgeable collector who shared his knowledge of Lugers (and lots more ) with many of us.
We will miss him.

Never knew him.

But where ever we are, it's hard to lose the old timers.

RIP.

Ray had tables in Edmonton at the May 1 day show.

A fine man who deserved better, and fought for gunrights to the tune of great personal loss.

Yes. IIRC, Regina City Police set their sights on him and set out to ruin him. Meanwhile, a block from the police station, drug dealers and pimps were doing a roaring business. Well done boys and girls! Best to get this international terrorist off the streets of the city he was born in and loved to live in, rather than try to skim some of the scum off the pond...
