Dunno, but he still best get a gun. Ma don't like that kinda talk an' you an' me cain't protect him forever.
Buck, you best hunt a hole an' mail Ma your explanations an' apologies. Offer to buy her a German choklit cake an' a quart of peppermint schnapps an' she'll most likely forgive you.
If not, she'll drink the scnapps an' OD on sugar an' won't remember come mornin'.
