Sheriff Eli Waters, Buffalo Rifle and bailing out

Rules Questions: Doomtown
1

Sheriff Eli Waters
Dude • Stud 0 • Influence 1 • Cost 4 • Upkeep 1
Deputy
During Waters’ shootout, he has a bullet bonus equal to the highest bounty among wanted dudes opposing him, to a maximum bonus of 4.

After an opposing player reveals a cheatin’ hand, you may move Waters to the location of a wanted dude. If he moves to the location of a shootout, he may join your posse.

Does the second trait allow eli to leave the posse if there is a wanted dude at a location other than the shootout?

If eli is not in location of the shootout using buffalo rifle or similar would this make a difference?

We ruled on this in thread Sheriff Eli Waters - Moving from a posse

Unfortunately it appears we had not added yet to the rulebook this line:

If a dude in a posse moves away from the location of a shootout, or moves home, that dude automatically leaves their posse.

As Eli would move, the Buffalo Rifle would not affect leaving the shootout.
