Oswald’s notes in his guidebook for marines

[John Iacoletti]

Where's the part about him "dry-firing his rifle" supposed to be?

On the porch, Johnny R&R

Mrs. OSWALD. I did not see it, because it was dark, and I would be in the room at that time.
But I did hear the noise from it from time to time not often.

It appears to me that the noise she heard was most likely from LHO operating the bolt.
I am pretty sure that you will disagree. If so, what other rifle noise would she be able to hear from inside?

I'll bite.  Who reported Marina saying that LHO practiced aiming and dry firing his rifle on the porch in New Orleans
>>> Priscilla Johnson McMillan

Still makes no sense.  The guidebook is about an M1.  How's that supposed to help him sight in or care for a different kind of rifle?
>>> Practice with any kind of rifle goes into one's knowledge-base.

Does anyone not see that this is a very strange statement?
They were in a room together...It was pitch black so she could not see Oswald [or this alleged rifle]....But from time to time heard the noise ....Maybe it was the boogieman.

Allegedly aiming at a screen in the dark of night is practice? How about dry firing a squirt gun does that count?

You're confused Jerry, they weren't "in a room together", Marina was in the room, Lee was outside on the porch.

Read it again, Bill.  She's not talking about dry-firing.

Cite Priscilla Johnson McMillan reporting Marina saying that LHO practiced aiming and dry firing his rifle on the porch in New Orleans.  How does Marina hear him aiming a rifle anyway?  That's a good trick.
