by Susan Dewey (Author), Brittany Vandeberg (Author), Hays Webb (Author) Gun Present takes us inside the everyday operations of the law at a courthouse in the Deep South. Illuminating the challenges accompanying the prosecution of criminal cases involving guns, the three coauthors--an anthropologist, a geographer, and a district attorney--present a deeply human portrait of prosecutors' work.
