Since this thread started, I've been wondering about revolvers. Most people don't seem to object to somebody having a shotgun or a bolt action/lever action rifle. When it comes to handguns, would it make sense to draw some distiction between automatic/semi-automatic hand guns, and the less obtrusive possession of an old fashion revolver?
       The revolver would work just fine for folks who are worried about personal protection, but it wouldn't cross into the realm of a really high-powered, fast firing weapon.
