I always thought Christopher Robin was a bit wimpy. This just makes it official.
In the original pre-Disney illustrations, Christopher Robin looked quite like a girl. He had longish hair in a page-boy cut, and he wore a sort of blouse. He looked like the little boy of a woman who wanted a little girl instead and tried to turn him into one.
"...you took your gun with you, just in case, as you always did..."
- _Winnie_the_Pooh_, Narrator to Christopher Robin
"Christopher Robin, you must shoot the balloon with your gun. Have you got your gun?"
"Of course I have"
- _Winnie_the_Pooh_
Not the only references to him being armed. (Awright, it was a pop-gun, but the kid's what, six?)
