Hell more than 2 armed mobsters. How 'bout Jo Jo Pecora and Charlie Murgie? Not to mention an occasional few from New York.
As you may know being introduced as a "a friend of mine" is exactly that "his friend" as opposed to "a friend of ours" indicating that you're part of the Family".
I didn't know there was a few mobsters that liked deer hunting. I always thought of them as hardcore city dwelling folk.
"A friend of mine" means a connected guy, as in a person that is on record with a family.
