The Armed Citizen

On October 5, 1892 Coffeyville, Kansas became a very unfriendly place for the Dalton Gang. These guys were a murderous bunch. They robbed & killed anyone who got in the way. They decided to rob 2 banks in Coffeyville but while inside the banks the residents of Coffeyville gathered their guns & challenged the outlaws with gun fire. When the shooting was done all the Dalton Gang were dead except for Emmett Dalton who survived 23 gunshot wounds. Four of the townspeople were also killed.

Law Enforcement tried to stop these guys over the years but in the end it was the "armed citizen" that prevailed over evil.
