娱乐性解釋/意思：
Seeing a pistol in your dream, denotes bad fortune, generally. If you own one, you will cultivate a low, designing character. If you hear the report of one, you will be made aware of some scheme to ruin your interests. To dream of shooting off your pistol, signifies that you will bear some innocent person envy, and you will go far to revenge the imagined wrong.
