This post says "the first episode of sherlock where john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun".
So, it's talking about the Sherlock mini-series from 2010 which was set in modern times. I don't think that in modern times a military veteran is allowed to keep a gun in a drawer.
I think that everyone is over complicating this.
When you see he has a gun in the mini-series, you're just reminded of how the he had a revolver in the books. You aren't going to think about it because he's supposed to have a gun. You just say, "Oh, he still has a gun."
I think the disconnect is probably between people who know Dr. Watson from the books, and people who don't know the books. The Sherlock mini-series is obviously targeted at people who never read the books. So it's entirely possible that they wanted the viewer to question its existence.
I’m a veteran with a .22 in my desk drawer that has a muzzle suppressor (if I am going to use it I don’t want to damage my ears).
In the UK?
Merica obviously, those commie governments across the pond don’t allow people on the internet
And do you live inside or outside of the US?
