DYK ? : Tombstone , Arizona had much more restrictive laws on carrying guns in public in the 1880s than it has today ?

Today, you're allowed to carry a gun without a license or permit on Tombstone streets. Back in the 1880s, you weren't.

Yes -- and enforcing those laws was the cause of the famous "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral". I guess the GOP wasn't in charge in Tombstone.
