I hear you on the weight issue. I was reading something last night and in it a fictional character pointed something out about rich vs poor men.

He said that a typical working class guy might have three pairs of shoes. His best pair of shoes/boots (the most comfortable) he didn't wear unless he had to walk somewhere - where the comfort made the difference. He would wear his 3rd best pair to work, where they might get dirty or damaged, but not do a significant amount of walking and reserve his 2nd best pair for social occasions.

A rich man will have a dozen pairs of boots, and he will squander his most comfortable pair on mundane things. A poor man has to choose his boots with care and forethought.

Sorta like 3 guns.
