Wyatt Earp died today in 1929.
Just a reminder that this is the law that he, his brothers, and Doc Holliday were enforcing which turned into the "Gunfight at the OK Corral".

Section 3: All fire-arms of every description, and bowie knives and dirks, are included within the prohibition of this ordinance.
