Left-handedness is caused by a higher testosterone level…hence the girly-men’s attempt at suppressing it.

You would likely only find left-handed guns among rifle militia where aiming is important and they brought their own!

And I agree that mutton chops are scary! But there were other scary styles in this era…or just after it actually…I remember an incident of someone being shunned because he sported a beard just after the War of 1812...so that could be a predigest too.
