For Fun: Wyatt Earp's Semiautomatic

[kdave21]

Didn't he have a buntline in his pocket whe he entered the ring to referee snarky vs fitzsimmons? It was taken by police and he had to see a judge. He also intentionally robbed fitzsimmons of his victory so he and his friends could win their bets. Earp was not the great man most think him to be

I believe there was a reporter who wrote in his coverage that Earp was carrying a revolver with a long barrel. If I recall correctly, he said 10 or 12 inches but dont remember without digging it up. Whether the reporter exaggerated the length of the barrel or estimated accurately is unclear.
