They got away with it because it was Constitutional. In a sense it was, pre-"incorporation". The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868. But nothing resembling the modern version of incorporation was put in place by the supreme court until the 20th century. Without the incorporation issue there would be a strong argument that it was constitutional as it wasn't an act of the federal government. ----- Note the "it" in question is - "Some old west Marshals used to require the boys to leave their guns while they went in to raise Hell in the saloon after a month driving cattle with no women. The people that lived in a town year round did not want their town destroyed and people killed by strangers who spent 2 days there. It was gun regulation. You didn't like it you had the option to slap leather!" Message 21913696
