Oh well, live by the sword . . .
And the guy in the role of her brother hammed it up pretty good when he came to their cabin saying they were after him, he needed to hide out, etc. It was sorta funny, him waving his gun as he gestured. He said he shot the guy, they asked why, he says 'cuz I was drunk!'
God only knows how much of this was pure fabrication by the film-makers, well maybe someone other than God but not me.

I don't know, that sort of stuff isnt too far from reality when people are completely sauced.
Of course everyone has a hand gun on their person.
I was just thinking back on how many silly altercations ive gotten into over my youth over stupid crap, and what could have happened if anyone had been armed at the time. Stands to reason that the ridiculousness of it is fairly accurate to a community of drunk, armed men
