There's a reason why people were pretty honest in the wild west. Everyone enjoyed open carry and if you lied, cheated, or stole from others, you got called out... into the street for a gun duel.
The reality is that they'd hide behind barrels and buildings and fire randomly rather than face each other. Then the town would show up with rifles and tell them to put their guns down and hands up. If any innocents were killed they'd be hung by sunset. Otherwise they'd be expelled for life.

Peace through strength.
