I have been watching the "Hookman" last monday (in german, which is still creeping me out ) Here is what got me a bit confused: (CUT TO: 9 Mile Road. DEAN and SAM drive up and get out of the car. DEAN opens the trunk and hands SAM a rifle.) DEAN: Here you go. SAM: If it is a spirit, buckshot won’t do much good. DEAN: Yeah, rock salt. (He hands it to SAM.) SAM: Huh. Salt being a spirit deterrent. (DEAN takes out a coil of rope and shuts the trunk.) DEAN: Yeah. It won’t kill ‘em. But it’ll slow ‘em down. (They start walking towards the trees.) SAM: That’s pretty good. You and Dad think of this?Uhm, so, the Winchesters have been hunting for the last 22 years, but only at some point in the last four years have they found out that rocksalt slows down spirits? Wouldn't any of John's hunter friends have told him that right in the beginning? I'm probably thinking too much about this. I know they needed to explain the thing with the rocksalt. But it just bothers me that Sam wouldn't have known about this before.

Hmmmmmm....*scratches head* Good point Sil. After reading this short transcript I tend to agree with you. Why wouldn't they know by now of the advantages of salt as a spirit deterrent. I can understand that John probably wouldn't find this information out from other hunters. Seeing that he didn't associate with them on a regular basis. But I thought that maybe Bobby would have enlightened him at least.
When I first heard this I thought that Dean was implying the change of application in the way rock salt was used ie instead of using a salt ring, or throwing it at the spirit, he'd packed it into cartridges. The better to deter the spirit.
Looks like I'm wrong.

I hat eit when Sam is made to look dumb... Perhaps, since they use regular salt in so much, he was just pointing out the difference? Now I'm going to have to check it out tonight... I watched AHBL last night.
