Actually yeah. He could carry a bunch of different kinds of revolvers & single shot hold out pistols & sawed off shotguns along with using rifled muskets and breech loading carbines. Etc. plus one of those gladius looking swords like John Brown used

tangentially, I passed by Big Bang Theory Way (a real street in Pasadena) and overheard some teenagers saying "Big Bang Theory, that's the prequel to Young Sheldon"
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”
