I have a question about the text of this card: "Only usable by a ready untapped minion with a gun other than the acting minion. The blocking minion gets -1 intercept." So I bleed with Dollface, Normal with a .44 immediately plays Suppressing Fire. Now any blocking minion will have -1 intercept. The card doesn't say only usable when an action is blocked (although the second sentence does appear to be worded to suggest that, it's still ambiguous). Ruling? NW

Now any blocking minion will have -1 intercept. No. The blocking minion gets -1 intercept. Normal cannot play SF "immediately", since there is no blocking minion. > The card doesn't say only usable when an action is blocked (although the > second sentence does appear to be worded to suggest that, it's still > ambiguous). > > Ruling? "The blocking minion", not "any minion attempting to block".
