Wire Paladin | One inch To the right At fifty feet |

onsidered by some authorities to be the world's largest cap gun, this sculpture is located in the West Bottoms of Kansas City. It hangs over the door of a defunct artist space, and thus has now become part of the public visual domain. This is my second posted image of the object, separated by three years of elapsed time. It seems to be holding up rather well, and reminds me of the popular western television series that aired on CBS from 1957 through 1963 - "Have Gun Will Travel."
“Paladin's great advantage over adversaries was not his impressive equipment, or his ability as a marksman (superior as this was). Paladin's edge was his rich education; he had an infallible ability to relate ancient antecedents to his current situations.” - Richard Boone
