Show Notes:
1. “PR Monster” aka “Preezy” is an artist whose works and tags can be seen in at least two cities in southern Michigan, probably more. The audio and text of This Gun in My Hand are works of fiction. Any references to historical events, real people, or real places are used fictitiously. Other names, characters, places and events are products of the author's imagination, and any resemblance to actual events or places or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

2. The bouncy, chipper music used in the commercial is titled “BULLETS AND BAYONETS” by John Philip Sousa.

Credits:
The opening music was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.
