the maverick

Danny lives by no law. I'll tell you, the guy is a convicted felon, and isn't allowed to have a gun. But everywhere he goes he has three loaded guns in the car, and doesn't even have them in a case. He gets stopped by the police for anything, and he's going to jail. He's been eating fresh venison since July 2, at least. He just shoots the deer and takes the prime cuts and leaves the rest for the flies and coyotes and buzzards. The other day he asked me to follow him into town for some reason. As we were getting into the construction zone, I let off the gas. Those road construction crews don't appreciate cars speeding through while they're working. But that doesn't bother Danny. He kept it pegged and drove through without slowing down. Just when I was starting to be amazed by his disregard for common courtesy (not to mention that it's illegal), I see that he's got a 12-gauge pointed out the driver's window and he blows away an orange traffic cone.
