+143 You wonder if the first person to lose the right to the passenger seat was threatened with a shotgun if he/she didn't go in the back, amirite?

During Old West times, the person riding next to the driver in a stagecoach was armed with a shotgun in order to fend off bandits who might attempt to steal the wagon's cargo. FUN FACT. y

I would have guessed that since shot guns have two barrels, and there are normally two front seats.. Ah whatever. You learn something new every day.

I've always guessed it was something similar. Thanks for the fact! :D
