Everyone has obtained its own rules with regard to their cars, which can touch the radio, AC compared to open Windows, et cetera-but the rule we have universally accepted as irrefutable is "calls hunting rifle". The first person to shout "Hunting rifle" has dibs on the front seat front seat. It's an honored time of time and even a "Hunting rifle rules"Website devoted to the thoroughness of how to call properly hunting rifle.

While we all agree that the shotgun is the law of the earth, we usually do not interrogate why. Would not this make any more logical to shout "front seat" because it's more precise technically? Why "shotgun"?

If you guessed that the origins came from the Old West, you would be a little correct. Back in the 1880s and 90s, when banks like Wells Fargo had to carry money or valuables into the plains with stazeces, they needed someone to protect all this booty thieves. So they hired frightening sheaths called "shot messengers on the rifle", whose only work was to seem to threaten and, if necessary, kill anyone who tried to loot their delivery. "He usually sat down to the right of the driver because, assuming he was right-handed, it would have been easier to handle the weapon," explains WC Jameson, the author of several books best-sellers on the old West, likeBilly the kid: Beyond the grave.

A history of 1891 in the Iowa newspaperThe Oxford mirror The power is more colored: "Of all devices and inventions for the protection of the treasury and the circumvention of the road agent, the only one who has resisted the test of time and experience is a great and ugly man. Tempered with a scintillaged shotgun on the box. "

But here is the interesting part. Hunting rifle messengers, and those who have written about them, have never used the term "hunting rifle". This particular idiom had fallen over twice as late, obviously well beyond the point where "shotgun" was a real job that cowboys were paid to do.

The oldest known reference was in a Utah newspaper, theOgden examiner, who published a story in 1919 with the title "Ross rolled again with a hunting rifle on the trainer of the old scene" -ross being a.y. Ross, famous fighter hunting messenger with a reputation for Badass, who has already taken five thieves of Stagecoach alone, felling them in a hail of bullets to successfully defend $ 80,000 in gold onion. As we said, a badass.

"Rifle rifle" as a phrase that cowboys use, even if they have not really become, have become too popular in the 20th century Westerns and Cowboy Fiction, the most memorable being John Wayne's 1939 ClassicDiligence, in which the Marshal Curly Wilcox (played by George Bancroft) proclaims, "I go to Lordsburg with Buck. I'm going to go hunting rifle. "

So, how are we getting hunting messengers with real firearms that have never said "Riding Shogegun", cowboy's cinema actors, brandishing false guns that say "Riding Hunting rifle "to modern automotive passengers without arms (we hope) in competition to" go hunting rifle "? Nobody certainly knows where and when "shotgun" has been shouted first to claim a passenger seat or how she has evolved in a national hobby unauthorized. But we know that in 1980 was a common sufficient sentence thatThe(London)Times used it in a story without explanation, written "It was quite by chance thatThe temperature found himself on rifle rifle for the red army. "

Now you know. Caller Shotgun means that you imitate actors using historically inaccurate idioms of the old West.
