...i too was very uneasy reading the section of the novel where michael is being prepped for the assassination of sollozzo and mccluskey and being told he must drop the gun at the scene. even with the special tape preventing his fingerprints from being left on the weapon, could he not have accidently put his prints on the gun when he fumbled for it in the restaurant washroom? way too risky. and all those witnesses. i kept thinking, no take that gun with you michael corleone and toss it into the river. but to leave it right there on the floor with two dead bodies - one of whom is the chief of police - felt like a mistake. get rid of the gun. if they trust michael to go all the way through with this massively important killing, can he not be trusted to dispose of a pistol?
