      British detectives don’t really carry guns though. Unless they are part of a special unit. This Sherlock episode the post talks about takes place in modern day London so he would definitely not own a gun for his job. At least not legally.

        Former army doctor. He’s doctor Watson after all. But usually you don’t take your service firearm home with you when you’re done in most countries at least, so that would likely be a personal one. And in the first episode he hadn’t yet started the detective work.
