Thought For The Day

   "I Agreed To Wear The Gun"

    So Why did the Sheriff resign? Perhaps he had become tired, tired of risking his life everyday, putting his life on the line for a few dollars a month as Town Sheriff. He was fast on the draw, and so being would have attracted every two-bit gunslinger out to make himself a reputation. And in having survived for so long, this ex-Sheriff must have killed many men, in defence of his Town, and himself. There was blood on the Sheriff's hands, he may have become tired of killing, hence his refusal to wear a gun. But when he did, men soon lay dead, and after the Colt 45 had finished its work, all around was quiet.      BCNU
