I live in a metro area and everyone I've talked to said they had to drive at least 45 minutes to find a shot in a more rural area. I suspect the rural, poorer county folks aren't taking advantage, either out of ignorance, defiance or not knowing or having access to the internet. But my slot is guaranteed and it's only supposed to take 15 minutes.
