Buffalo Rifle - May I Move to Join from Adjacent while Booted?

As the title. Here is the text:

Buffalo Rifle
If this dude is adjacent to the location of a shootout or a job’s mark, they can join a posse, without moving or booting, even if booted.

Ordinarily, when a dude joins a posse, if they are not at the location, they move to the location as part of joining. It is clear you can use this gun to snipe from an adjacent location. But can you also opt to move a booted sniper into the location, essentially skipping between the commas, like so:

“If this dude is adjacent to the location of a shootout or a job’s mark, they can join a posse, …even if booted.”

I assume not. But if not, how come?

Cheers!

You cannot move the dude because in choosing to utilize the Buffalo Rifle, the entirety of the trait must be followed: the dude is joining a posse, without moving or booting, even if booted.
