Title: Saloon Closed for Hanging
Post by: FinsnFur on September 07, 2011, 09:19:45 PM
My baby Brandi found a sign in a storage locker tonight that read "Saloon Closed for Hanging".
Anyone watch it?

Did they seriously have and use signs like that back in the day? Close the bar so they could hang someone? Who old enough here to answer that?
Let's see either Bill or Cronk.  :laf: :laf:

Jim im not that old but i do believe that is true i remember hearing something about that before in i think a history class, that sign would sure be cool to own and display :laf: and it wouldnt hurt if they started that practice again.

 :readthis:   As I understand it the saloons were closed for hanging so they wouldn't have to deal with drunks during the "ceremonies" if you will.  :laf:

I just can't see the point in cutting off the beverages for such a festive occasion. :wo:

I agree with Ed as well.  :biggrin: :biggrin: I just have "heard" that is why the saloons were closed for hangings.

I cant believe he hasnt had a hand up along side his gills yet.
Him and Jared squared off and went toe to toe a couple weeks ago and I thought sure as heck it was gonna happen.
