But I do have a question for you. It is my understanding that many municipalities had restrictions on weapon possession especially during the "wild west" days. Admittedly, it might be because I recently watched "Unforgiven" but I did think that it was a semi common practice. Do you know if this is true and if so was there any controversy about it at the time?
