Ah the heady old days when you could just use a shotgun on your own clothes instead of ironing.

I am no gun expert or anything...but that looks like a sawed off shotgun. Not only would it take the wrinkle out, but the whole garment in question as well.

Haha, and replace the text on the side with a hillbilly accented phrase "I'm gunna go make me a husband!"

It's what's referred to as a 'coach gun', used on overland coaches by the driver to fend off, well, pretty much anything. Over really bad stretches there would be an extra person by the driver to handle it, which is where calling the seat by the driver 'shotgun' came from.

Yes, it is sawed off, and has been illegal since the thirties unless the owner has a class three license - the same one you need for machine guns.

The more you know... :)
