But he put his rifle scabbard on the right side of his horse.
Is that odd?

mikeyspizzaHe steers the horse with his left hand?
No odder than:
at the opening, 12 cycles of the lever results in 13 reports from a weapon that does not hold that many
Shooting all the rounds then twirl-cocking when empty
Flip- or twirl-cocking the rifle and nothing happens then a moment later working the lever to fire
and so on.

6gunsBeing a lefty long gun shooter, I'd want it slung on the right side to allow a left hand draw and up to my left shoulder. Oddly, I'm a right hand pistol shooter and right eye dominant.
