Retention does matter when you have it open strapped to your hip and the person in line takes it off your hip with ease.
Just because you can doesnt mean you are good.
Whether a driver, pilot, athlete, shooter or accountant.
Just because you can, doesnt mean you’re good at it or should

It's going to be taken regardless whether with ease or by force. It's like thinking that because you have hundreds of dollars openly carried in a wallet that's chained to your pants means that it's going to stop a violent criminal from taking it, or if you have valuables openly sitting in your locked car that they're somehow protected. It just gives a false sense of security, IMHO.

I think that depends on who you ask.
And I'm fairly certain Wild Bill wouldn't be all that famous if not for Bill Cody/Agnes Lake.
Wyatt Earp wasn't really famous until after he died when Stuart Lake published his (heavily embellished) biography.
I always felt bad for Wyatt Earp. He spent his entire life trying to be rich famous and respectable and none of those happened until about 2 years after his death when Stuart Lake published that lie-ography.

"Wyatt was clearly something of a celebrity. Raoul Walsh told how Charlie Chaplin had met him and said, “You’re the bloke from Arizona, aren’t you? Tamed the baddies, huh?” Big Western stars of the silver screen befriended him in his old age, glitterati like Tom Mix and William S Hart. In 1923 Earp wrote to Hart, “Many wrong impressions of the early days in Tombstone and myself have been created by writers who are not informed correctly, and this has caused me a concern which I feel deeply.” One is tempted to say you ain’t seen nothing yet! Hart and Mix were pall-bearers at Wyatt’s funeral. They toyed with the idea of a silent movie with Wyatt as hero but that never happened. The nearest we got was when Hart included a cameo Wyatt Earp in his film Wild Bill Hickok (1923), now tragically lost. Wyatt was played by a certain Bert Lindley. It isn’t quite clear what Wyatt Earp was doing in a story of Hickok, but there we are!''
"One of the most famous lawman of all time, Wyatt Earp was also an accomplished gunslinger who was greatly feared by the outlaws of the era. After traveling the boomtowns of Wichita, Dodge City, and the famous city of Tombstone–where he became one of the most feared and respected lawmen of all time–he then participated in some of the most legendary shootouts of the Old West, most notably the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in 1881, where he and brothers Morgan and Virgil, and close friend Doc Holliday confronted a group of cowboys who’d recently robbed a stagecoach. Three of the cowboys were killed in the fight, and everyone but Wyatt was wounded. The gunfight caused a huge scandal, with compadres of the cowboys soon retaliating, wounding Wyatt’s brother Virgil and killing Morgan. Earp and Holliday then led a team of gunfighters on what has become known as their “Vendetta Ride,” during which they killed an estimated 30 men connected with the murders. All told, Earp is credited with killing between 8 to 30 outlaws (depending on the source), and his exploits remain among the most famous stories in the annals of the American Old West."
Sounds like he may have been somewhat famous during his heyday.

Bob Dylan ? My guess is they would be glad not to have.
Admitted to ( or claimed with no proof you might say) is different than confirmed. Of course you could just take my initial point and replace Hardin with either of those two. Which would actually make my point better since almost no one has ever heard of them.
The Most Deadly Gunslingers of the Old West - Think Research Expose
By James R. Coffey. The gunslingers of the Old West have become as famous as any figures in American history. In fact, names like Jessie James, Wyatt Earp, and Billy the Kid are more easily recognizable that the names of many U.S. Presidents. They have come to represent not just the period...

I named my son Wyatt, after Wyatt Earp. I never thought my ex-wife would go for that name, but she liked it. So, my first born was named Wyatt. This picture is over 25 years ago. A trip to Tombstone.

If you read the old court records, the primary reason that Curly Bill was acquitted in the death of Fred White was because Fred White made a dying declaration that the shooting was an accident.
If open carry is what you like ok. Inso doing you're making yourself a target in my humble opinion. Just like playing poker "never show your hand"until it's time.
Got some friends who are married were big fans of "Justified". First born son named,,, Yep. Raylan
