Re: Open-carry in the "Old West?"
You all want to read two real good novels that give some insight into carrying of handguns in the old west, read Appaloosa and Resolution by Robert B. Parker. Heck, some towns apparently had rules that you had to turn in your handgun when you came to town. If I remember correctly they used the term "heeled" or something like that to denote that you were carrying. I don't normally read westerns but these two are excellent. If you read them you should read Appaloosa first.
