Northfield, MN---site of the James Gang's biggest defeat. They went out of their usual turf to rob a bank up there, and found out that the locals:<br /><br />A) Were NOT sympathetic<br />B) Were heavily armed<br />C) Were pretty good shots.<br /><br />Same sort of thing happened in Coffeyville, KS, when the Daltons had the bright idea of robbing two banks at once. The whole town turned out, guns in hand (a local hardware dealer was handing them out, saying "Go get the robbers, but bring these guns back, y'hear?") and the Daltons got good and riddled.

"Well,..."What will you do with it?"<br /><br />"Well, really, most of the time it will just sit there. Once in a while it will be a really loud paper punch."<br /><br />"Protection?"<br /><br />"If need be. Hopefully that will just be showing I have it.
