Chapter 1: Section 3: Page 25: Line 70 (355)

 The picture was inscribed, More of a shotgun man myself, regards, Doc.

I'm still crying from thinking about that scene from Tombstone that I mentioned in the last entry! My fucking heart, man!

Doc reminds us all that he's more of a shotgun man. Probably because you don't have to aim as well. See, aiming is more difficult when you're drunk. But if you have a scatter gun at your hip, well, you just sort of have to point it in the general direction. You're bound to hit one of the three blurry targets in front of you! Also, if you really want to win a gun fight and not simply prove how fast you can draw a gun or how accurate your aim is, just go ahead and carry a shotgun around. Even the most violent assholes will probably give you a wide berth simply because they're going to have to get very lucky to escape unscathed from a run-in with you. And when you're living in the Old West and even the slightest wound can lead to your eventual (and quite painful) death, it's smart to avoid a gunfight against a guy with a shotgun. Especially a guy who, when not drunk at all, is a known quickdraw and deadeye. It's like if he wanted to kill you with a revolver, he could totally do it. But how many people are worth bothering? Maybe Johnny Ringo? Everybody else, why bother? Just scare them away with your mighty boomstick.
