Mr. Liebeler. Did you mention specifically a rifle range where you had discharged your firearms?
Mr. Alba. I believe I did, and I am sure that if I did I told him that he would have to be a member in order to be able to use the range.
Mr. Liebeler. What range was it?
Mr. Alba. Crescent Gun, Claiborne Avenue, owns the range, and if you are a National Rifle Association member, then you have the privileges of belonging to the rifle range across the river, which belongs to Crescent Gun.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald ever indicate an intention to join the National Rifle Association?
Mr. Alba. None.
Mr. Liebeler. In connection with this carbine that you had ordered from the National Rifle Association, you indicated that he had expressed an interest in buying that weapon from you? Is that correct?
Mr. Alba. He had an interest very much, and after I told him that I wouldn't sell the gun, and I had mentioned that I was getting the gun for approximately $35 through the N.R.A., and that this same gun on the market would sell from $75 to $100, and he had made the expression that if and when "you get the carbine, should you decide to sell it, I would make it worthwhile for you to sell the gun."
Mr. Liebeler. But he never spoke of joining the N.R.A. in order to obtain a carbine such as this himself?
Mr. Alba. No.
