There is something about guns that appeal to many people. Both my sons, when they were old enough, bought guns, even though they know the second amendment is not in effect in my house. A psychiatrist might say that a gun is a phallic substitute. Maybe so. But guns certainly represent power.

Dear Wendy is the story of Dick, a young man who discovers that carrying a gun, even though no one knows he has it, gives him a power – a confidence – that he never had before. He shares this discovery with other “losers” in town and they form the Dandies, a bit of social club, a bit of church, a bit of gang all mixed together. They find an old abandoned part of a mine and there they create The Temple, where they escape from the outside world and can concentrate on their guns. Through their joining together by carrying guns, they all begin to grow within themselves.

They have no desire to use their guns (other than in target practice) because they are pacifists. One of the prime rules of being a Dandy is that you never display your “partner.” The guns are not to be used outside The Temple. They are carried to provide “moral support.”
