No argument or flame war here! Everyone has their own opinions. People always get too opinionated about these things - I don't want to contribute to that. In Australia crocs are protected, so getting small ones for hides is not on the plan. Its only the big ones that you need to worry about. Even then, you'd be lucky to see them before they got you. Given sidearms are very difficult to obtain permits for in Oz, and open carry is non-existent, it's a moot point.
