    what I found with a fast search copied from the internet


    Sheila Givens
    Lewisburg, Kentucky

    Near as I can figure, Marshal Dillon was shot 56 times, but I?ve heard the count could be higher.

    My figure includes: eight shots in the left arm, six in the left shoulder, four in the left side, one in the left leg, five in the right arm, five in the right shoulder, six in the right side, three in the right chest, four in the right leg, three forehead grazes, five in the back and several creases. The poor marshal was also knocked unconscious 29 times, stabbed three times and poisoned once.

    That?s a lot of blood loss!

    How many "slings" has he worn? They always put his arm in a sling. One episode he was hit in the right shoulder and the sling later was on the left.[:o)][|)][B)][:0]

    One of the favorite lines from the old cowboy shows was "they just winged me". Could you imagine a .45 Colt round to the shoulder bone. [:0][:0]

    It's a wonder he could shoot at all. Every time we see him he is sitting in the longbranch saloon chugging down a beer while hanging out with a woman of questionable morals, a pill pusher and a anti gun cripple. Sam the bartender is a monster and Quint the blacksmith just left town and is East bound and down.

    I remember as a 6 /7 year Kid old standing in front of the TV each week trying to out draw him in the opening scene ( cap guns were not much danger of taking out the TV ) he won most of the time If I did not cheat [}:)]


    just me I wanted to be Paladin live it up with the fancy gals and life styles in the hotels and wait on the "wire with cash " to come and save us
    I think I had a gun and busness cards like his as a kid he was a rough looking fellow I did not want to look like him but have his business [:D][:D]

    For real? James Arness was shot at least once. IIRC in the right hip.
    As actors go, he would be one who actually knows what it's like to "be hit".

    The guy was 6'7" and would have been easy target that size.

    Not trying to take anything away from Marshal Matt Dillon or his gang, but I always got a kick out of how James West ALWAYS got into knock down drag out fist fights with MULTIPLE bad guys at a time in each and every episode of the Wild Wild West![:D]

    Those should shots may explain how his arm was detached in "The Thing"

    I believe Season #14 is coming out in DVD. I don't remember anyone in that show ever getting a full cup of coffee or finishing the little bit they got.

    It was funny how Roy Rogers and Gene Autry would chase the bad guys on horseback and seem to always roll down that same hill when they jumped off of their horse onto the bad guy. [:D]

    I believe he was wounded at Anzio or in Italy in WWII. I believe he knows what it?s like to take a bullet.
