Yet another fine example of the R.A.Heinlein quote; "Be wary of strong drink. It makes you shoot at tax collectors ... and miss!"

While this is not a case of a tax collector, it is a case of (probable) excess testosterone plus strong drink plus an excessive confidence in one's abilities and in one's large calibers. Also a case of youth meeting age and coming out the worse for it!

The young guy was the one with the .22.

If I read the story right, the younger guy (Yokum) prevailed against the older guy (Martinez).

There is also "old and stupid." Ususlly it's not that old, since stupid shortens one life considerably.

I thought that the teenager was the one with the 22.
