<Marshals carrying Fate Chips over between sessions>
Don't know if there is anywhere in the rules that says not to, but I make sure that I keep a hold of mine; 2 Blues, 2 Reds and 3 Whites at the moment :)

Yep, I agree with this, players enjoy games more if they enjoy their character and the setting - often this determines what we play rather than the game mechanics. Killing off PC's regularly, stops them from getting a feel for their character and the game, deaths in our game can most often be attributed to moments of incredible stupidity, or on rare occasions, bum dice rolling.
I tend to give out bounty only and let the posse use their fate chips to soak damage, although they can trade their chips for bounty if they wish. I keep a note and add up all the bounty and give them it after the adventure rather than during it - maybe not the way the book says - but it works for me.
Also no one ever has more than 10 fate chips.
