Speaking about the value of guns...

Found a non-fiction book in the library quite by chance called "Blood and 
Grits" by Harry Crews.  It recounted a rather amusing/sick/funny/dumb story 
of how his friend held off a some of the more repugnant and skanky locals at 
an AT trail crossing outside of Erwin with a timely produced .38 out of the 
backpack.  Had plenty of time getting to the weapon.  Interesting 
coversation, too.  Non fiction.  Also spoke of a local jabbering of an 
elephant killing while resupplying in Erwin. The AT part was just one 
chapter, titled "A Walk in the Country" which was originally published in 
the 70s.

No, its not an AT Classic.  Still, it might provide an answer to a trivia 
question some day.  And while I almost hate to admit it (read the book to 
find out why), I kind of like this Harry Crews has to write.  No lesson to 
be learned about guns, but perhaps a little about people.
