Is Charelton Heston being buried with his gun?

Question

I heard this from a news source that Mr. Heston requested being put to rest with his favorite rifle holding it across his chest in a military pose.I guess he really meant what he said about taking his gun away?

Answer 1

This is my weapon this is my gun, this is for fighting, this is for fun!! Of course he took his gun with him.

Answer 2

Anyone who thinks that Charleton Heston's personal firearm is a "crime threat" is a simpleton.

I certainly hope that the man's final wishes have been carried out.  He deserves no less than from us.

Answer 3

If that's what he wants than that's what he should get. I firmly agree with him. We have a right to bear arms. 2D

Answer 4

I hope so. That would be one gun less making the US a safer place. They really need to reduce the USA gun deaths from the staggering total of 30,000 per year. Even if the gun had no chance of being used, which one is safer? A gun or no gun? Simplistic I know but applied to the whole country the death rate would plummet.

Some blogs seem to think that he wants to be buried with all his weapons which would be even better.

Answer 5

I hope so.

I want to be burried with my HK USP .45.

Best handgun ever!

Answer 6

lol, no offense to anyone, but he is a bit of a gun freak.

The events of colombine will never leave my memory, and it was sadistic of him and his society to hold a conference there....

"From my cold dead hands!"

seriously? you dont need ak47's and M5's to hunt animals... instead what are they used for?.... exactly

Answer 7

As usual, someone always has to include suicides in while spewing the statistics about gun deaths.  Why is it that the Scandinavian countries and Japan all have tremendously staunch and intrusive gun control laws, yet have higher suicide rates than the USA?

The problems in the USA don't stem from guns, they stem from societal problems like the tremendous mix of ethnicities, religions, and creeds that no other country has.
