There's something a cowboy has hanging down below his belt. Even when its in its special little pouch, you can tell its there by the bulge it makes. It usually just hangs there, but sometimes he likes to put his hand on it ... especially if there's some excitement going on around him ... or pull it out and wave it around.Sometimes they're so little you wouldn't even know that they're there. Others are so big that you can't help but notice them. When a cowboy has a really big one he's usually pretty proud about it and may even tend to show it off.
Some are fancy, and so especially nice that a cowboy can't help but want to show off. He may even let his friends handle it, just to feel the weight and heft of it in their hand. He might even let them shoot it - if they're a very special friend.
When he takes it out, its either to clean it, to show it off, or to shoot it. If he pulls it out, its best to be aware of where he's pointing it. If he flicks a certain part of it with his finger, it might shoot!
When I was just a kid, I had one that was really just a toy. Even though it couldn't shoot anything, I still liked to play with it. Some parents think this should be discouraged, but I say boys will be boys so let them have their fun.
