He said he doesn’t want to be taken alive. As far as I am concerned he doesn’t have to be.

    I read part of a very boring Western novel (that was written in the 1950s) as a teenager. I never finished it since I kinda found it highly unappealing (I only bought it because I wanted something to read on a flight… it was the 90s. No cell phones!). But there was ONE quote in it that never left my mind:

    “Pistols are for storybooks and fools. When you want to go fighting, you get your rifle.” Basically what I am saying is that if you KNOW you’re going to need a gun, grab your shotgun or rifle and let your pistol be a secondary.
