Gun Safety Tip #6. When unholstering your weapon it's customary to say "Excuse me while I whip this out "

Favorite western he appeared in was The Big Country with Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Burl Ives, Charles Bickford, & Chuck Connors.
No shit, he was in my late mother's drama class at Northwestern. She got a lot of mileage out of that story.

I hope he gets buried with his gun. The man stood up for what he believed and stood damn tall. If more of Hollywood was like him, it'd be a much better place.
