The pistol trick was a little MacGyverish, for sure, and I too am willing to defer to McCarthy on such matters. But it is not the how that I am interested in, it is the why. Through what McCarthy describes, I can believe that the pistol will go off at some point in the future, that much I understand. What I do not understand is why? Why does having a pistol go off at a random time after his departure disrupt his pursuers to the point that we never see them again? What role does the horse play?
