Well, he was generally known as a bad ass motherfucker, so I think the consensus was that if he ever had to he wouldn't have hesitated to blow someone away. So, no one apparently was willing to be the guy who tested that theory.AZGrizFan wrote:death dealer wrote: I inherited the pump and double barrel sawed offs when my grandpa passed.

What a concept, huh?
I loved my Grandpa. To me he was just this great big bear who loved us, and spoiled all of us. He died when I was in middle school, so I only remember him that way. But, looking back at pictures of him, and listening to stories from my uncles and dad, he was not someone you wanted to piss off. He ran a numbers racket and loan shark business out of his bar, and was very generous to widows, the elderly, and children. But, not so much everyone else. So, to make a short story way too long. It wasn't just the knowledge that the guns were there, but also the fact that everyone knew if pushed, he'd more than willingly use them.
