Cowboys in the wild west were all carrying and there was a lot less gun violence than now.

Remember the movie Demolition Man. This line always stuck with me-

"Look! This isn't the Wild West, okay? The Wild West wasn't even the Wild West."

At least violent whackos and the thugs that Dem Party politics endlessly return to the streets to prey on good citizens would have more to worry about than police responses many minutes after the violence starts.

Indeed. It's not their fault, but as the saying goes, when seconds count, the police are minutes away.

Yes, but no one seems to be able to convince these 2nd Amendment leftist haters of that.
