Certainly not. His question, "why not carry a gun that you find interesting, neat, or for that matter "cute", was put forth in the context of his contention "ANY gun is better then no gun, and if that's what it takes to carry then so be it. "Posted by West Kentucky: Kleanbore, I certainly hope your kidding about Jenrick kidding.
Well, "any gun" might well prove very ineffective, in the gravest extreme. There are all kinds of reasons to carry something effective. No one in his right mind would make an informed decision to carry a defensive weapon that would likely not serve its purpose.
Now, if one's effective weapon of choice happened to also be "interesting, neat, or cute", fine. But that was not what Jenrick implied.
I do not carry my grandfather's revolver each day. And if I did so due to nostalgia, there is the likelihood that others would determine after the fact that I had done the wrong thing. It was considered adequate in 1900, but people know better now.
There is absolutely no good objective reason for anyone with a choice to carry a defensive weapon that is likely to prove ineffective.
My everyday carry weapon is not "cute", and some people would not consider it "neat". Whether it is "interesting" is a matter of opinion. But none of those things have anything to do with my choice.
