How to prove a gunfighter

 "If a man says he can play a piano," he said quietly," you got to have a piano handy to prove he's a liar. If a man says he's a bronc peeler, you got to get him in the saddle to find out if he can back up his brag, but if a man walks like a fighter an' carries guns like a fighter, then all you got to do to find out if he's a windbag is start somethin'."

(from The Rustlers of West Fork, by Louis L'Amour)
