[QUOTE="SCNuss, post: 166485, member: 3609"]The Lone Ranger had a silver mine that he and his brother, Dan, had planned on using for their retirement. A retired Texas Ranger (who knew the Ranger's secret) agreed to work it for him and make the silver bullets. The Lone Ranger and Tonto would periodically visit the old Ranger and stock up on bullets and silver to use to buy goods. Why does the Lone Ranger use Silver Bullets? If you read the Saturday Evening Post article on this site, you'll see that Striker borrowed it from a Robin Hood radio program he'd written where Robin used silver arrowheads to identify himself. Later, a more philosophical reason was given. Silver bullets reminded the Ranger how expensive firing a gun at a man was. Not that this seemed to sway him from firing his gun an awful lot. :) Just not to kill anyone. Source: [url]http://www.endeavorcomics.com/largent/ranger/faq.html[/url][/QUOTE]
