Postal Inspectors among the first to use ‘Tommy guns’
Perhaps the most widely recognized firearm anywhere in the world is the Thompson submachine gun-the “Tommy gun.”
It may surprise some people to learn that the first government agency to use any quantity of Thompsons was the Post Office Department. In an effort to curb a sudden increase in mail robberies in the early ’20s, 250 of the guns were purchased.
Interestingly, when the U.S. Marines landed in Nicaragua and Shanghai in 1927, they were supplied with Post Office “Tommy guns.”
Ken, buddy, I hope you're wrong about the bad guys wanting the trucks for other reasons...
