Actually, if that’s the scene from the pillaging of the town…no wonder the town was taken. All of THEIR guns are being…. controlled. Those aren’t the pirate guns. Those are the TOWN’S guns.
Why only 10 pistols and 5 blunderbuss long guns for a whole town? Looks like the only ones with guns in that town are the local police. No wonder the pirates like attacking them.
Whenever somebody mentions firearms at theme parks, I can only think of a Winchester Model 61, used for shooting 22 Shorts at targets on the Midway. This also brings to mind that old Andy Griffith Show episode where Andy has to straighten out the crooked carnies.
The carnies were using mis-sighted 22 pump rifles that shot a foot wide of the mark. Andy was given a good rifle of course when he “tested” the fairness of the carnival. But he caught them out and it all ended well.
Caribbean piracy was all about sodomy. I suspect even Howard Pyle and Errol Flynn knew this. It’s unfair of Disney to make this lifestyle choice attractive to those whose eyes, so to speak, are not wide open to the upshot.
Also, they were all protestants. What’s up with that? One hook, a peg and an eye-patch do not “inclusivity” make.

Ooh…have they pushed the theme from the movies that Piracy is all about freedom and liberty?

I don’t want to know what your referrer logs are going to look like from now on. You used “Disney” and “Pr0n” in the same sentence.

Is it accurate to have everything locked up like that? I would think not.

I had no idea that them parks were so violent.

“Why only 10 pistols and 5 blunderbuss long guns for a whole town?”
There are probably 12 times that number in the actual ride, if it’s the Disney World version and you count both lines.
And NOT counting the fluorescent-colored ones in the gift shop.

Good Eye!!

Safe storage laws are out of control….

Also cool: “The Old Jail” in St. Augustine, FL, where they have about 4 display cases of guns seized in crimes!

DC, heh. They ought to let you into Disney for free, and charge admission for the rest of Florida.

The guns are locked up, but not the pirates, because “Guns kill people!”

I missed that in St. Augustine, which rocked! Marineland is STILL THERE! The Dolphin show is gone, but its a good deal for swimming with them.
