I take it from your handle you are into bolt actions.
I would not hesitate to carry an AR in the woods if I had one in a beefy caliber. All mine are 9mm and Regular.
I guess we’ll agree to disagree.
Funny you should say that. Not that Wyatt never open carried in his career, but the gunfight at the OK Corral, pitting lawmen against the cowboys, symbolized city folks against rural. The impetus of the whole thing was gun control, with Wyatt's group coming to take guns away from the cowboys.
The cowboys open carried in rigs similar to what is seen in the movies. The lawmen, as city folk, carried their handguns concealed, in large overcoat pockets or tucked in belts.
Roger that. Just a heads up. The band I’m in is playing at The Ponderosa saloon in VC Saturday night 8-12. Ya never know. 🎸🔊👍
Well, actually leading up to the gunfight at the OK Corral, it was actually different law enforcement agencies against each other.
After Stilwell's body was found the next morning, the Tucson Justice of the Peace issued arrest warrants for the five lawmen suspected of the extra-judicial murder. When the men returned to Tombstone, Cochise County Sheriff Johnny Behan had received a telegram notifying him of the Tucson warrants, and attempted to detain the five members of Earp's federal posse named in the warrants, but they ignored him. Still carrying arrest warrants for Curly Bill Brocius and others, they left Tombstone to pursue further Cowboys implicated in the attacks.Behan formed a Cochise County sheriff's posse consisting of deputies Phineas Clanton, Johnny Ringo, and about twenty other Cowboys and Arizona ranchers. Based on the local warrants, they followed the Earp posse and set out to arrest them.
“I would assume it was some anti-2nd Amendment prosecutor that brought the charges on behalf of the state.”
But Moody sided with the state?
For all those who question DeSantis and sum him up with the Disney thing, this is what DeSantis has done for Florida, and can do for the Nation. Stacked legislature. Stacked courts. Stacked state offices, and getting rid of the option when possible. Stacked Red. Conservative Red. Supreme court slot likely coming up for the next prez. Maybe some opportunities in the next two races as well. A lib prosecutor brought this charge, in a lib county. Didn't even make it the the state supremes before it was slapped down.
That’s “getting rid of the opposition when possible”. Dang auto-correct
“Supreme court slot likely coming up for the next prez. “
DeSantis: My pick will be in the mold of Thomas and Alito
“But Moody sided with the state?”
But? As AG she IS the state!
“Something is amiss. State charged him?”
No. Local LE charged him with a state crime.
“How do farmers shoot varmints on their property there? Like gators and pythons.”
Open carry is allowed on personal property. Also or while hunting or fishing or traveling to or from those activities.
“I would assume it was some anti-2nd Amendment prosecutor that brought the charges on behalf of the state.”
Local LE. State statute.
