Well, the guns are problematic, too. I don't disagree with you there. But one is easily fixed, the other a slow process at best. I don't think it's so illogical to say that the name could have been disastrous. Besides, even where I live (Canada) where people don't just walk around with guns all the time, a name like that could be harmful. What if there was an armed police officer nearby?

Also from Canada here, I totally pictured someone without a gun, or any other sort of weapon initially and someone yelling "Shoot her" is a still quick way to get the dog or person hurt.

Of course it's a name and human's stupidity. Guns are just tools, like knives. You can use it to hurt someone, defender yourself or cut bread. Human can be bad, never the tool

"Better to be wrong and alive than right and dead."

In Alaska? No, sounds pretty normal actually. Alaska is still a frontier, even in the city areas, and the mentality is pretty solidly baked in there.

It is Alaska after all therefore one better be armed with a gun. Otherwise perhaps not; depending upon many other varibles.

I mean - the adress gets lost in translation at the pizza shop - he goes to the wrong house - the householder also has a a gun and wonders why a stranger is hammering on his door at midnight - shoots first and asks questions later
