Just thought it'd be interesting to point out to the Catholic members of Bullshido that there's actually a cannonized (no, not that kind of cannon) Patron Saint for Handgunners.

He is definietly a Saint but I'm not sure about him being the Patron Saint for Handgunners. Interesting info about him:

Yup, he's a real saint. You can get a Possenti medallion someplace.

EDIT: I am stupid, and you can get the Possenti medallion from the website linked in the first post. Duh.
