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.
It's still weird to keep it in a drawer
Where else are you going to keep it? The fridge? Hell I keep my muzzle loader next to my desk, mostly because I just got it and have yet to find a proper place for it.
