In small towns, it’d be fine to be gun free. But. In many small towns in the South (America,) people open carry habitually and have no gun violence.
It’s a different time, and way too much has changed to try something like having a “Wyatt Earp” town…
I should mention that I don’t share the opinion that he was the type of person the old westerns depict. He was not a good person…
