Towns were quite different, cow punchers coming off a long drive and being flush with their pay, would descend upon a town and often times create havoc shooting up the town and generally celebrating.
In the real world, no such events took place.

There have been some really good movies showing the make-believe life described in your post.The other side of the coin is that towns actually depended on these cowboys for the influx of cash they would bring spending it on prostitutes, gambling, hotels, barbers, and, of course dropping scads of dough in the local drinking establishments.
In the real world, American citizens have learned to distinguish between the two.
Fact or fiction, non-fiction,
Nice of you to admit that there were gun laws in cities and towns way back then.It is little wonder why a Sheriff would confiscate their guns until they left town.
Reminding us that Wyatt Earp was a living Sheriff doing his duty to enforce those laws.
