I have had the occasion to often deal with guns since the Shang came.  Sometimes I’ve been the one holding the gun, and sometimes I haven’t.  I do have a piece of advice though.  If you say “listen to the man with the gun” hold on tight to that gun or the other guy might just accept your conditions and take the gun.  I have done that in my time, and the shock on their faces as I do it is worth its weight in gold.
