I consider guns tools, but I also consider them much more...
OldMarksman, I see exactly what you're saying and I agree. No way I would carry a blued Colt 1911 for SD or on duty. Why? Not because it is not adequate, but because it has class and character. I carry a CZ P-07. Many others carry Glocks, or some other polymer concoction. I don't carry my soul-less polymer pistol because it is that much more reliable than some other, more classy pistols. I carry it because if I do have to use a weapon in SD, you can bet I won't be seeing that weapon for a very long time. I can replace a G19, or CZ P-07, for $450.00. That blued Hi-Power or Colt 1911? Not so much.
So yeah, I view my carry pistols much more like tools, though I do use them for recreation. Any wood and steel semi or revolver? Not a tool to me. Those are things of beauty.
