@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidTo be fair, I'd guess a LOT of weight.
I'm considering taking up sumo, but need to put on a fair amount of weight.
You won't get there with these cucumber sammies.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidThe sumo wrestlers, are they just fat or do they have muscles hidden somewhere?
Agreed, and have increased my intake of pickled eggs.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidA strange sport indeed, the wrestlers have a life expectancy of 65.
I'm not brave enough to ask them.
@Torunn saidI imagine all that weight must put extra pressures on the heart.

They are though idolized as athletes, which I guess must be a big enough incentive, despite the health risks. (Same for boxing and polar bear wrestling).
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidTo my surprise I found this: "Sumo wrestlers are known for their immense size, which can be intimidating to those who are unfamiliar with the sport. However, it is important to note that size alone does not necessarily equate to poor health. In fact, sumo wrestlers are often in better shape than their sedentary counterparts, due to their strict diet and rigorous exercise routine."

@Suzianne saidWell if we’re breaking a law I guess they might say something, I don’t live within the city limits. Police live around me, if in town that would be different, out here gunfire is very common with people target shooting. The only ones that might think it is are the multiple people from California in their fancy new houses across the street from me.
Most US cities now have microphones which listen for outside gunfire. They can triangulate and have a cop (or five) up your butt in 10 minutes.

@mike69 saidAs everyone knows all weapons are to be left with the coat check attendant on entering the tavern. If, when you leave, you are sober they will be returned. If not you can retrieve them the next day, summing of course you are “fit” to do so.👍
