The Gauntlet

This side of the street is ready.

All the way down.

Then enemy will have a gauntlet of fire to run through.

Ladies first.

 Oh, oh.

At the Ready

Farmers and bankers are ready for the fray.

Husband and wife are ready.

M16 and pump action shotgun at the ready.

Gun and edged weapon, a good combination.

A good handgun is a good weapon.
 

The Men Are Ready

A nice ax for close up work and a pistol in the holster to take on more than one.

Long range for deer, or the enemy.

The men are ready.

Nothing says stay away from me like a chain saw.

Just a little touch to steady the nerves.
 

The People Are Ready

There is some movement down the end of the street.

I think I see them.

I got my shotgun ready.

I won't give in without a fight.

I have farmed here for my whole life and my father before me, let me at them.
