Looks like it's plants and flowers from Lowes instead.

(1,558 posts)Is the first thing I say in these matters.
That being said, whenever I unholster my revolver, my thumb immediately goes to the cylinder release.
As the gun clears leather, the cylinder snaps open.
Turn the gun over, bullets fall out. Six bullets, six holes.
Now I have a really sexy* paperweight in my hands.
