The Rifleman

"Long Gun from Tucson"

Mark was upset.  He didn't want me to face Holliver and his gang alone. 
He wanted to strap on a gun and help.  I couldn't let my boy do this.

Cinekyd Tribute to the Values of the Rifleman (1985)
This video was a student project at Cinekyd, (Willow Grove, Pennsylvania) a non-profit arts program for youngsters.  This video was created more than twenty years ago by a 15 year old Cinekyd student, who is now an ordained minister and had the unique pleasure of sharing it with his children when it was 'rediscovered' a few months ago and uploaded to YouTube. 
 
A "special" thanks goes to Bob and his daughter, Becky, for sharing this video with all of us Rifleman fans and taking the time to send this video to The McCain Ranch for us to enjoy.  Also Bob, please thank the creator of this video for us.  Although we do not know who he is, this video tells us a lot about him.

This is what Bob had to say.....Incidentally, like yourself, I am a long-time Rifleman fan - going back to the original broadcasts. In the early 1960's, Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford were the special guest stars at the Philadelphia Police and Firemen Thrill Show down at the 'old' stadium in South Philadelphia. Seeing them in person was a 'thrill' for me. My children and grandchildren have all watched treasured reruns of The Rifleman with their old dad/granddad.
