I'm not sure, but "Lazy Q" looks like the name of a ranch to me. From my very sketchy memory, ranches were often named after the brand they used on their livestock. A "Lazy Q" would have been an inclined Q I think. The owner or head of a ranch was called a foreman.
Not sure exactly why "Lazy Q", or why that ranch's foreman was considered particularly mean or quick with a gun, but that's my guess.
