Wyoming sheriff tells the department: No more cowboy hats
The Earp brothers must be twitching in their graves. The same goes for Bat Masterson, Doc Holliday, Wild Bill Hickok and a posse of Stetson-wearing TV Wild West lawmen.
There's a new sheriff in one rural Wyoming county, and he has banned his department from wearing — gasp! — cowboy hats. It's a move that has caused an uproar and led one deputy to retire in protest.
And it’s not just those wide-brimmed symbols of the Old West. Those dusty old cowboy boots? Told to get out of Dodge.
