Last night, I overheard the beginning of the show Sarah Palin's Alaska, in which she said: "Out in this territory anything can happen, but it's nothing a shotgun can't handle."
I couldn't help thinking that the range of what she's including within "anything" is pretty narrow. How would a shotgun help if you:
- Found a woman in labor and had to help deliver the baby
- Ran out of drinking water
- Were enjoying a pristine meadow full of wild flowers and wanted to catch a butterfly
- Fell and broke your leg

I frostbit my toes near Delani National Park while camping in the winter in around 1995. I had a shotgun with me at the time, but hadn't considered how that would help me. Had only Sarah Palin's Alaska been an early 90's TV show . . .
I guess if you broke your leg you could use the shotgun as a splint?
