Damn! I just watched Se7en that was next in my Netflix video queue and Emery was a soft spoke..., uh, mild maner..., uh, well, Captain of Detectives. He will be missed but not forgotten. He did sneak in "Ladies and germs."

You should've heard him off-camera. He was hilarious & definitely what you see = what you got. Met him one time at an NRA convention; long line for remarks/photo-ops/autographs. Long after all the other "speed shooting stars" had departed, he stayed until the last person there had been accomodated -1 very brief bathroom break.
I hope GSSF (Glock) keeps the Gunny Challenge going (sort of an end of year Master's shoot-off). He was a fixture in that from day one. Good man.
I notice the CBS article doesn't cover as much of the being blacklisted for his political views. Fox' article is a bit more curtain-pulled-back:
Quote:
"I've had a very fruitful career. I've done over 70 feature films," he said. "I've done over 200 episodes of [Outdoor Channel series 'GunnyTime']... and then [Hollywood] found out that I'm a conservative."
Actually, he corrected, "I'm an Independent, but I said something bad about the president. I had something unsavory to say about the president's administration, and even though I did vote for him the first time around, I was blackballed."
Ermey, who was an NRA board member, said at the time that his association with the organization and his disapproval of President Obama cost him acting jobs.
...
"Do you realize I have not done a movie in five to six years? Why? Because I was totally blackballed by the ... liberals in Hollywood," he alleged. "They can destroy you. They're hateful people [who] don't just not like you, they want to take away your livelihood ... that's why I live up in the desert on a dirt road ... I don't have to put up with their crap."
