Reading: Jerry Decided to Buy a Gun.

Jerry Baldwin was 30 years old. He was the manager of a pizza restaurant. He lived

in an apartment about one mile north of the restaurant. He walked to and from work.

When it was raining, he took the bus.

Jerry loved gangster movies. When a new one came out, he would go to the theater

and watch the new movie three or four times. Then, when it went to video, Jerry would

buy the video at Barney’s Video Store. Jerry had a home collection of over 1,000

gangster videos. Old ones, new ones, color, black and white, English, Spanish, and

Japanese--he loved them all. He could tell you the name of the movie, the director, the

stars, and the plot. Did you say you liked “Pulp Fiction”? Well, Jerry would rattle off all

the details of that movie. And then he would invite you to his place to watch it some time.

He was a nice guy.

Jerry finally decided that he would like to own a gun, just like the gangsters. So he

saved his money for a couple of years. Then he went to a gun store and bought a

used .38 caliber revolver for $300. While there, he also bought a couple of boxes of

ammunition. The following Saturday morning, he went to the gun club to practice with

his new revolver. He was in the club for only 10 minutes when he accidentally dropped

his pistol. The gun went off, and the bullet went into Jerry’s right knee.

Jerry now walks with a limp and a cane, just like some gangsters.
