If you believe Wes Fuller testimony, his observations were made near the vacant Lot where the gunfight occurred.

How can you continue to insist that the Earp LAWMAN POSSE entered the lot with guns drawn, since fuller clearly says where their weapons were placed ?

        We all know that West Fuller was a "stand-up citizen. That means we should accept Fuller's account and completely dismiss the testimony of others? Butch
