[/quote] Check your crime stats. US around 1900 had a fraction of the homicide/murder rates it has today, despite having a revolver on you was common dresscode and people were notorious for consuming large amounts of whiskey in addition to having that revolver. Large areas was outside the reach of the law, and if you got a bad wound, there werent even antibiotics to help you recover. It was set up for absolute carnage, still things were peaceful compared to today for the most part. And if you go forward a few decades to the 1920-1930s you had mass shootings like the valentines massacre, today thats almost like a routine event. And to top it all off, good medical treatments that makes people survive things that otherwise would be fatal and much fewer young men which are the usual suspects regarding violence, something very disturbing has happened to people in the west.

Meaning that you'd have cops (sheriffs) but not so much justice.
A world where your survival would depend on you, your guns and your posse.
