Answered by pritiguptamumbai2808

Even in the cannon's mouth = a 'cannon' was a large gun, and it's 'mouth' was at the front - so the man seeks his reputation even if it means standing in front of guns, i.e. going to war or getting in fights. justice = here, a judge or magistrate - so someone very respected.
