There is always someone trying to take your guns away. Even in the Old West the local marshal or sheriff frequently didn't allow the carrying of firearms in city limits. Wild Bill did it in Abilene and The Earp brothers did it in Tombstone. According to what I've read they usually had the overwhelming support of most of the citizens.
