    What's your source that Croy gave it to Summers? I've never heard this.

    A footnote in the estimable Dale Myers' tome. I must have seen it before, but had forgotten it. Not sure it means anything, but I like to see my guy Hill getting some attention...

    If it came from Myers, then it is a lie designed to fix a problem. The problem here is that LL Hill got Tippit's gun when he was "inexplicably" in Dealey Plaza. He didn't get it from Croy and Summers. And why would Summers give it to LL Hill, anyway? The
    gun would not be passed around willy nilly. Croy would have to give it to a real cop, and the real cop would give it to a superior. Liar Myers strikes again.
