The Wild West....still


"John Wesley Hardin. The West's most feared gunman, killer of at least 26 men, was shot dead in the Acme Saloon on this site Aug 19, 1895.

Hardin was shot in the back of the head be El Paso Constable John Selman.

At Selman's trial a witness testified: 'If Hardin was shot in the eye it was excellent marksmanship. If he was shot in the back it was excellent judgement.'

Selman, out on bail a few months later was killed in a gunfight. "


Luckily(?), guns and ammunition are still easily obtained here.

Ok, maybe I've had enough of Texas. Posted by Hello
