EXACTLY! Movies make them look cool so american think they should have them. Except handguns were just as popular in the US long before movies were invented...  .69 caliber flintlock handgun, circa 1790-1810  Colt Paterson, 1839  Walker Colt, circa 1850 FWIW, my grandmother's parents were married in 1900, and one of the wedding gifts was a very nice matched set of small defensive revolvers intended for concealed carry (a .32 and a .22, I think). Handguns and this country go way back... |
