Barney had his first gun receipt as a deputy dated August 1953 in "Citizens Arrest" and he's been there 10 years when this episode is filmed
Here's the hitch: Barney is a new deputy when Aunt Bee comes to stay (1st episode) filmed back in 1960 (I take it might have been set back in 1959 as the Ford they are driving might be '59 or a '60) this says we trained noticers are smarter than the Hollywood crowd LOL BTW on another I noticed. Unseen Character: Johnny Paul Jason is listed as one but actually he does appear trading a smashed penny for a horse hair with Opie outside the church in "Man in a Hurry" _________________________________________________________________ Mortgage rates near historic lows.
