In another part of town, an enraged 65-year-old pension applicant whipped out a pistol and killed a go-slow clerk when she foisted still another form on him and suggested that he return in a few days; it was the fifth time he had been put off, and each refusal meant a 70-mile round trip from his home in the countryside...

When an Afrikaner looks at a girl and sighs, "Ah, a 38!" he is less apt to be ogling statistics than calculating calibers. More than 27,000 white women in South Africa these days belong to pistol clubs, and many thousands more go armed. The latest boon for pistol-packing mommas is a lightweight leather holster that clips on any brassiere and facilitates an Instant Oakley draw in case of trouble...
