Neither Muriel nor her mother strike me as pistol-packing mamas [that's
from an old song, in case anyone should feel compelled to object to the
phrase!], and anyhow, it appears that Seymour retrieves the gun "from under
a pile of shorts and undershirts," which suggests to me that since it was
in his luggage, it may well have been his gun.
And as Will said, good detective work on this, SGallagher! I've wondered
for a long time whether that gun was akin to the writer L. Manning Vines,
one of *my* personal favorites, and someone whose work I'm sure many of us
appreciate more than we can possibly say.
