Best approach: “No Guns In Towns and Cities because of excluding the possibility of committing Shooting Crimes Under Influence [SCUI] “
Since DUI (Driving Under Influence) is a law
[re-] installing preventive SCUI Laws is self-explicable.

The idea of the individual right to carry a gun wherever you are really wasn’t a thing until well into the 20th century, even though the Second Amendment is much older.
@Homer-OJ-Simpson
November 24, 2024 at 12:16 pm
The NRA in the 70’s started to change how the 2nd amendment was interpreted. And by the 90’s the new interpretation was accepted by the right

@Homer-OJ-Simpson
November 24, 2024 at 12:18 pm
Not so fun fact, it was the NRA staring In the 1970’s that began to reinterpret the 2nd amendment which then became accepted by the right in the 90’s. Before that, it was not common to interpret the 2A as an individual’s right to protect themselves because the 2A doesn’t even mention that.

In Tombstone the Earps and Doc Holliday kept their pistols hidden in their pockets. Even though some of the Earps were deputy marshals they did not wear gun belts like it shows in all the movies. They confronted the cowboys because those men rode into town wearing their guns openly. The Earps were trying to disarm them when the famous shootout near the OK Corral went down. The gunfight was the result of months of tension and arguments between the groups.

Many medieval cities had similar laws. Only nobles were allowed to wear swords within the coty walls, so you could bring one for ersonal protection on the road, but you had to leave it at the coty gates and pick it back up on your way out.

More people were killed by shotguns than pistols
Pistols were expensive and shotguns were multi purpose ie food and animal control
Post civil war pistols became more common
And lots of people were bushwhacked and shot in their back

I’ve carried a firearm everyday for years, never harmed a single person. My firearm is not a threat, unless you are. We never get to choose when or where evil will appear! There were only a very few places that citizens could not carry a firearm in 1791 when the bill of rights was ratified.

Not 100% true. Concealed Weapons generally weren’t considered a problem, unless used in an Offensive Manner. Then other Law came into play which resulted in a Trial and a likely Hanging. Few “Repeat Offenders” or Prosecutor High Jinks.

Champagne in particular was weirdly popular. And most of these places also served a lot of food.
