      Nah, or her girlfriend because she would absolutely break your nose or challenge you to a duel and likely win.

      My favorite part of the article:

      In 1959, actor and Montana native Gary Cooper wrote an article for EBONY in which he wrote, “Born a slave somewhere in Tennessee, Mary lived to become one of the freest souls ever to draw a breath, or a .38.”

        I love the ambiguity of

        In 1894, after several complaints and an incident with a disgruntled male subordinate that involved gunplay,[2] the bishop barred her from the convent.

        Gary Cooper > John Wayne

        Best Western actor of that entire era, also the inspiration for Timothy Olyphant’s portrayal of Raylan Givens on Justified.
