I’m in the unenviable position of not having immediate access to a copy of “The Godfather”, otherwise I’d check this out myself - so I have to ask - when they rub out Paulie in the car, who is it who pulls the trigger? And would wiping out such a low level guy as Paulie count as “making one’s bones”?
Any and all advice appreciated!

Clemenza to Rocco, after taking a piss while Roc took care of Paulie, “Leave the gun. Take the cannolli.”
