But because he saw they made you check your guns in a movie about Dodge City - gun laws were much more restrictive then.
Did a bit of reading since my last post. It turns out that quite a few Old West towns did indeed restrict weapons in the city limits (knives as well as guns), but this was almost always selectively enforced. It wasn’t so much a public safety issue as it was a way to disarm political and business rivals. Such restrictions tended to disappear whenever the office of sheriff went to the opposition party. But statewide or territory wide or federal gun regulations? None to speak of.

Yes, because I love the fact out of all our western allies, we are #1 in firearm violence.
