Hard time, hot bird, and a Colt in the cookie jar... Who is this character?

The answer to this trivia question gets me free shipping with Sierra Trading Post, and points for you: "This character did hard time, had a hot bird, kept a Colt in a cookie jar and was played by a real maverick. Name the fictional character and get free ground shipping ..." A little help, please? Thanks!

2. James Garner played James Rockford in the Rockford Files. He played an ex-con,and kept his gun in a cookie jar. Plus Garner also played in Maverick.
3. "dirty" Harry Callahan from the movie "dirty harry"? maybe
4. Addendum to Wendy B's answer, Rockford also drove a Firebird.
