The laws of Tombstone at the time required visitors, upon entering town to disarm, either at a hotel or a lawman's office. Long-running tensions between the lawmen and a faction of cowboys – represented this morning by Billy Claiborne, the Clanton brothers, and the McLaury brothers – will come to a head over Tombstone's gun law. Marshall Virgil Earp, having deputized his brothers Wyatt and Morgan and his pal Doc Holliday, is having a gun control problem. Corral is quiet, and it's had an unremarkable existence for the two years it's been standing-although it's about to become famous.
It's October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, and Arizona is not yet a state.
