Hope he can get his life sorted out with God, before he has to stop those "galena pills", but it doesn't sound as if he's so inclined.

In the real Old West, a man who lived by the gun—whether lawman, outlaw, hunter, rancher, soldier, shotgun guard, storekeeper or hardscrabble farmer trying to put food on the table—knew the importance of keeping his weapons clean and well oiled. It was the best insurance that he would die in bed with his boots off, not from hunger or an overdose of “galena pills” (bullets).

I hope, when he gets to where he's going, there's lots of torment, fire, and brimstone.

"One of the rifles had a blank so none of the volunteers knew whether they fired a fatal bullet,..."
Those o us that have handled weapons on more than passing basis, Know this is not a factual statement.
