He was shot in Ga with a 44 mag Ruger semi auto rifle. The guy who confessed was a nut job serial killer named Joseph Paul Franklin. William Pierce another nut job who wrote the turner diarys praised him as true son of the race.
I think he was executed in MO.
Larry was a scum bag but he was a champion of the 1st Amendment.
have to agree he was a true fighter for the 1st amendment and he always seemed to me any way as the counterpart to old Hef and playboy
I was still young but remember him in the news wearing a American flag and when he was shot seemed he was in the news as a headliner for a time
I recall when he was shot and declared paralyzed from the waste down even back then as a kid I thought poor old &^%$ all the magazine gals hanging around and well 😮
I do not remember the last one of either of there magazines playboy or hustler I saw ( actually looked thru ) but it had to have been way back in high school days
1st amendment supporter or just another pervert trying to use it to become famous and sell magazines.... even as a "horny" teen I was not excited by his mag, penthouse was much better.... I don't wish ill on the dead usually, but I feel no loss to humanity here.
He was a creep!!!

Is my Hustler collection buried out in the back woods worth more now..............40 years later?
The trees think so, pretty good fertilizer.
I thought he had died years ago!
Did not care for him but respected him for his guts to stand up for what he felt was right..... a rare trait in todays political correct environ.
