Hi bentway; Re: "When six guns were popular, a LOT of people carried them - mostly in the west. Times have changed. I don't know what the homicide rate was then - do you have any actual stats, or were you just making shit up based on movies and TV shows?"

You could have thought about it logically. I mean you did know that a US VP shot the Secretary of the Treasury dead in a duel did you not? And you're aware that a member of the House shot another member of the House dead? Or you could have googled for the well known facts but maybe some people aren't too good at computers. So here's a book you'll find interesting:

P.S. The Middle Ages were far worse than even 17th century US. This should make a very interesting read:
