To your first question, yes Eddie got nicked in the arm by a slug, but it was nothing too serious in the greater scheme of things and didn't get mentioned again as far as I recall.

Second...

Have to agree with the others on this Mike. Roland being dead certainly never occured to me, and it doesn't ring true for me when I see it written down there.

You are perfectly correct. Yes King screwed up the timeline on this one - I remember some discussion on the old .NET site on it, and really there's no way out of the connundrum. It was a bit sloppy,...

Well, he had his jocks full anyway! :P

I can't see Roland forgetting them, or accidentally dropping them...
maybe King just rethought it and didn't want the gang to have too many guns after all,...

No you are right. I thought we were discussing the original 2 cops whose guns he took. Yes, he did have more respect for the 2 at the station. My bad[/QUOTE]
Ah, that explains it Merlin.
He had...

Especially the one who shot him. :shoot:[/QUOTE]
Yes absolutely.
But also their whole approach, and the way they covered each other & especially the way they were careful not to endanger innocent...

I'd have to re-read yet again Merlin (which inevitably I'll be doing soon enough), but unless I'm mistaken, while he was scathing of the incompetence of the 2 cops who turned up at the shop earlier...

Letti, I distinctly recall him taking the guns off the 2 cops and 'thinking' of bringing them for Eddie & Susannah. Then he actually used the guns outside the train station when faced with the other...

He took the guns from the 2 cops, with the intention of bringing them accross (he thought they'd be useful for his 2 'Gunslingers-in-training), but in the end, just before jumping in front of the...

Yeah, I would have said 3 to 4 months. Not sure if it's ever specified in the Book.

but i thought they had four guns????

The gun stolen while in jack mort's body, jake's who he stole from Elmer, and Roland's two...[/QUOTE]

I was thinking exactly the same :orely:[/QUOTE]

Oh,...

Eddie & Susannah swapped Roland's spare between them a lot, oxnard.
And at times carried one each (during Roland's 'I dont's trust myself, and neither do you' spell).

The time in question, yes...

I'm pretty sure the statue on the station was a 'generic' Gunslinger.

The Ice-sculpture in the carriage WAS Roland, but was made specifically by Blaine for the occasion.(Including the detail of...

Agree - it's essentially the ability/quality to be 'dim'.
