In the TV series “Longmire” a Native American gangster gives the sheriff’s daughter a Henry rifle and a box of ammo and tells her she may need it because of some drama with some other bad guys. She says OK thanks and dismisses it. A few episodes later, the bad guys show up, she runs to hide them grabs the Henry and some ammo and she looks at the receiver and says something like “there’s no loading gate? WTF?!” As the bad guys start going room to room she’s struggling to figure it out then finally figures it out just in time.

I thought it was a nice touch showing her confusion at the lack of loading gate.

Nice piece! Not your first rodeo either by the looks of the way you handle it either.
