One thing they knew I could do without messing up was shoot.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

Mini Bio

DUSM Raylan Givens

I thought that went well. -- Raylan Givens, Justified

Raylan was known as the one who'd shot it out with a Miami gangster named Tommy Bucks - also known as the Zip - both men seated at the same table in the dining area of the Cardozo Hotel, South Beach, when they drew their pistols. Raylan had told the Zip he had twenty-four hours to get out of Dade County or he would shoot him on sight. When the Zip failed to comply, Raylan kept his word, shot him through china and glassware from no more than six feet away.
--from "Fire in the Hole" by Elmore Leonard

There was a poster with the heading HANG 'EM HIGH that showed a famous hanging judge of a hundred years ago, Isaac Parker, against a montage of condemned prisoners on scaffolds waiting for be dropped through the trapdoors.
Raylan would look at the poster, in the lobby of the Marshals Service offices in Miami, and feel good about their tradition. Not the hanging part - they had quit handing out death penalties in federal court - but the tradition of U.S. marshals as peace officers on the western frontier. Every time he looked at Judge Parker up there in the poster Raylan thought of growing a mustache, a big one that would droop properly and look good with his hat.

"You didn't want to talk to me yesterday either. Told me to stay out of it. So I have to wonder why you're looking for me. I see you drive by and come back. I see you get out of the car with a pistol in your hand.... So I guess what you're wondering, if you can get it out again before I get mine out. Am I right?" It wasn't the kind of question likely to get an answer, so Raylan said, "What we might have here is the kind of situation you see in real life out there. Like it was a contest, who could pull the faster." Raylan shook his head. "If you wanted to shoot me, Nicky, for some personal reason you might have, would you walk up and tell me? Or would you wait to catch me unawares?" Raylan paused now. "You're not telling me what you think about this. What's wrong?"
"I'm trying to figure out," Nicky said, "what the fuck you're talking about."
-- from Pronto by Elmore Leonard

This is an RP journal and is just for fun and has no ties to Timothy Olyphant, Justified, or Elmore Leonard and his books and short stories, etc etc.
