Fear: The first person to mention the "Wild West" ...

... in conjunction with Concealed Carry is going to be forced to watch 3 hours of Randolph Scott B-Westerns.

First, in reality the Wild West wasn't all that wild.  Some towns required strangers to check their guns in the Saloon and "entertainment" district but most allowed locals to carry if they felt the need. 

But with all 50 states allowing some form of concealed or open carry, none of the predicted "Wild West style shoot outs" have occurred, anywhere, ever.  Find something else, based on facts to obsess about.
