{{examples|Why do these examples have their weapons out?}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* One rather hilarious subversion comes in ''[[Lupin III]]''. Daisuke Jigen almost always has a weapon handy, but as bad luck would have it, violence breaks out during a wedding, one of the rare times he is not. He instinctively goes to for his holster, and is noticeably embarrassed to realize it isn't there.
* Premise of ''[[Tetragrammaton Labyrinth]]'' has the main characters fighting evil. ''They live in a church''. Some fight scenes take place in churches.▼
== [[Film]] ==
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
** When Liz visits a bad neighborhood nicknamed "Little Chechnya", she asks if she just saw a man walking down the street holding a gun. She is told, "Yeah, but don't worry, he's not a cop."
* On ''[[Garth Marenghi's Darkplace]]'', most of the characters, who work in a hospital, seem to have guns at all times. This comes in handy when they're attacked by [[Animate Inanimate Object]]s, undead warlocks, and Scotsmen.

Line 60 ⟶ 58:
* [[Dungeons & Dragons]] traditionally doesn't even bother. In most settings you'll see palaces and places with [[Truce Zone]] rules having "check on entry" rule, but that's all. It doesn't help that few authors remember that there are differences between poleaxes and sidearms.
** [[Forgotten Realms]] has many political entities, from minor city-states to Cormyr, that exercise "peace bonding" tradition: carrying sidearms is allowed almost anywhere, but one must check each weapon on entry and have it tied to stay in the sheath (or wherever it's carried) with a ribbon using an elaborate knot. This doesn't hinder self-defense much, but gives the hot-headed a chance to remember where they are, or at least helps the local enforcement to see who had steel out and who didn't later (accurately tying a non-trivial knot is not easy to do in a rush and/or on the run).
*** Of course, ''practically'' both peace-bonding and "check at the door" rule are mostly about demonstration of peaceful intent and preventing violent escalations, so "[https://web.archive.org/web/20190927211402/http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3684&whichpage=72#107621 everyone hands over their largest, most awkward weapon, and openly goes on carrying other weaponry]". Full "no steel" policy only appears in few small high-security areas or as a temporary measure if there were too many brawls gone too bad. In part because there's magic anyway, in part because if things like belt knives count, [[Everyone Is Armed]], so it's too much of bother for everybody involved.
