This is referring to a "shoot out" between two people, a typical thing when looking at cowboy history in the United States' western territories. It refers to someone taking their gun out faster than the narrator during one of these shoot outs and shooting first at the narrator. It was used to resolve disputes between people.
As for the second section, it is referring to the narrator no longer engaging in the shootouts and abstaining from them as well.

It seems you're reading a book based in the old West that centers around gunslingers. Generally there would be duels between two gunslingers to settle disputes and the person to draw and shoot their weapon first won/survived. To beat someone to the draw means to do exactly that--Draw their weapon and fire first.

@feli3193 "Hung up" or hang up in this context means to put away. It's saying he should put away his guns for good.
