Description: In "Outcast Deputy," Hugh Connor has to find a way to stop the men who want to take his land without getting himself killed in the process. Tom Marolt is a hardworking sheriff who takes a desperate gamble to end a rustling spree in "The Bullet." "Doc Gentry" spends most of his time digging bullets out of Clyde Neal's victims. But when one of those victims turns out to be twelve-year-old Joe Egan, Doc decides that it's time to stop Neal. In "A Notch for Bill Dagley," Bill inherits a small ranch from his uncle. Sitting between two big ranches on the verge of a range war, Bill was warned of the trouble brewing but chose to stay -- a decision that might cost him his life. Lee Anders is fresh out of Yuma, on parole, and without his guns when he rides into Sage City in "Stone Walls." After he takes down a drunk on a shooting rampage, he is made the town marshal. How is he supposed to do the job when he can't wear a gun? In the title story, "Posse Guns," Joe Dorn is removed from the posse being formed to find Ray Temple's murderer after it is rumored that Joe's partner, Dan Morgan, was one of the rustlers who shot Temple. So Joe strikes out on his own to find answers.
