A traditional hunting trip in rural America becomes the setting for both a story about spring turkey hunting as well as an examination of the unique place which guns have in American culture. There are those who believe gun ownership is a fundamental right which should be free of any regulation; there are those who believe guns cannot be allowed in any civilized society; and there are those who believe guns may be allowed if regulated. The conflict in these viewpoints arises from a lack of understanding and perspective which this short novel hopes to bring to the debate.
