Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

A guy who goes by Chris on McAdams' forum claims to be an Oswald defender, but for some reason, he insists that Oswald did own the rifle and did bring it to work- but not to kill Kennedy, just to show it to somebody. What's it based on? Nothing in particular. 

But, here is something I pointed out to him:

Charles Givens saw Oswald on the 1st floor at 8:30 that morning, and Oswald didn't have any rifle with him. And then Givens said he went back up to the 6th floor to continue laying flooring. 

Mr. BELIN. All right. You saw him at 8:30 on the first floor? 

Mr. GIVENS. Yes, sir.

 Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do? 

Mr. GIVENS. Well, we went back upstairs and started to work. 

Mr. BELIN. You went back up to the sixth floor to continue laying the floor? 

Mr. GIVENS. Yes, sir. 

So, Chris, since you continue to insist that Oswald brought a rifle with him to work to show somebody (even though Oswald denied bringing a rifle to work or even owning a rifle) where did he stash the rifle? He could not have stashed it on the 6th floor because men were working up there- laying flooring. And he didn't have it with him when he started working- as Givens and others attested. So, what do you think happened to the rifle? Where do you think Oswald stashed it since he couldn't stash it on the 6th floor? Do you think he stashed it on the 5th floor? How about the 4th? And how likely is it that he could do that and get away with it? He's moving a rifle around the Depository and nobody notices it or him with it? He is carrying it around, here and there, in a weird paper bag, and nobody notices it? Not one person ever saw him with it?

And remember that the rifle was, supposedly, unassembled and had to be re-assembled by him. And since there are no reports of any screwdriver, many have assumed that he used a dime as a tool.

So, what is the latest he could have gotten to the 6th floor with the bag containing the rifle to begin the assembly process? And with that in mind, what is the latest he could have gotten to wherever he stashed the rifle since there were men working on the 6th floor?

It's widely recognized that Frazier and Oswald were not the first to show up that day, that they were a little on the late side. Lots of people were already there. So, it puts Oswald in a bind doesn't it as for hiding the rifle?   

Here's an idea: Oswald told the truth, that he owned no rifle and all he brought to work with him that day was his lunch.
