Oh, wait, I've just double-checked and I'm only seeing "9mm firearm," so maybe we don't know for certain whether it's a handgun. (I must have gotten that elsewhere, from a less reliable source.)

I can understand that, and I appreciate your articulating it! For some reason, that aspect doesn't bother me—I guess I accept that we're all posting in public and anyone/thing can listen—but as a fastidious editor type, I do sometimes feel the urge to perfectly curate kicking in
