Not Gonna Carry That Way!

My older brother passed away many years ago and one of the guns I inherited from him was this North American Arms 22lr 5 shot revolver. I think he purchased this little “novelty” gun back in the ‘80’s but I’m not sure. It’s a well-built little gun and has safety features to prevent accidental discharge however, I ain’t gonna carry it in the neck holster that came with the gun. Nope, no matter how safe it might be I won’t wear a gun that is pointed at my head. No, no, no!

Does anyone else own one of these revolvers or anything else you consider a “novelty” gun?

Oh heck no on that carry! 😳😳 I’m with you.

i dont own any novelties though, but always thought about a pocket derringer.
 
My sons gave me one of the smaller Rosewood .22 LR versions for Fathers' Day a few years ago. It's a fun little plinker, and the kids and I have had a blast with it. I can possibly see some situations where it may be a viable self-defense pistol, but I have only used mine strictly for novelty purposes.

I'm with you on the neck holster. Even though I believe the gun has sufficient safety features to avoid unintended discharges, I'd never be comfortable with any gun being pointed at my head.

I've also been an active grappler since high school and am not a fan of any neck-worn defense items. If the rope/chain supporting the weapon is strong enough to avoid breakage, then it can be used to choke or restrain the wearer. If it is designed to "break-away" under pressure, then I worry that it poses the threat of accidentally arming an attacker. Just my opinion, but I feel much more comfortable carrying weapons in other ways.
