The few that aren't meek aren't much help either the sheriff is a ditz who hates his job, for one.
And they're all henpecked by the women in their lives to some extent.
The Legend of Frenchie King: The Wild West is a World of Action Girls, resulting in almost every male character being this. Most of the male characters in High Noon, to the point where you wonder why the town marshal bothered protecting the town in the first place. Gun Fury: Twice in his pursuit of Frank Slayton's gang, Ben Warren stops in towns in an attempt to raise a Posse to help him, only to be met by fear and indifference from the townsmen. In Ghost Town (1988), it is the refusal of the meek townsfolk to join the sheriff in opposing Deviln and his gang that causes the town to be cursed and then to be trapped in a state of undeath under the rulership of the equally undead Devlin. 
Everyone else meekly capitulates and will not even meet the eye of Pickett or his enforcers when they pass them in the street.
In Ghost Rock, only the madam Mattie Baker, Sheriff Clay and Determined Homesteader Weng and his family put up any resistance to Jack Pickett taking over the town. Granted Billy is holding their children hostage, but no one shows any spark of resistance till Rayne rides into town. BloodRayne II: Deliverance: Once the sheriff is turned into a vampire, the townsfolk of Deliverance just capitulate and allow Billy the Kid and his vampire cowboys to take over the town. Blazing Saddles: Just about everyone in Rock Ridge, though ironically they prove to be armed to the teeth when approached by a friendly black man who wants to help them.
