Maybe in principle, he was 'without a gun,' but he knew that there were times when one was needed. Andy was known, even said so, for not carrying a gun, but I don't recall him ever saying he didn't own one to his name. We know he went hunting, for one thing, plus those guns in the courthouse. It stood to reason in a small town where everyone knows where the sheriff lives--his car is usually either in front of the house or in the driveway, occasionally in the garage--someone would show up sooner or later for something bad, other than Aunt Bee's pickles. And that's where the pistol would come in handy. Dixon _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
