Weird example…
I would think he is a character involved with detective work, which is a component of law enforcement and therefore it is not out of the ordinary for the character to possess a gun.

I do a fair amount of solo bikepacking in the rural Midwest, and have gotten into enough weird altercations that I now ride and camp with a concealed pistol.
A few years ago, I would have called anyone doing this exact same thing a psychopath. I give myself endless amounts of shit for having a "bicycle gun" and would be fucking mortified if anyone I casually ride with found out, but I'm also intensely aware of how batshit crazy and divorced from reality the average redneck is.
Brother, I went camping twice in the South and both times, I had some serious weirdos on the trail. One redneck asked us if we "had any guns on us". What?
My camping partner said, "If we pull it out, we use it." And the dude ran off.
I kinda want to buy a handgun just because taking them apart and putting them together looks fun. I know they make fidget toys for that but tue ones I've seen are too simplified.
Im a believer of responsible gun ownership and I do think things like sport shooting and interest in the mechanics are a totally valid thing. Safety being the most important aspect
Also you should check out the forgotten weapons channel on youtube lots of good history also weapons with weird mechanisms
A realistically disassembleable toy gun would go hard

Regardless of the actual amount of guns one sees around and in desks, one thing I think is particularly relevant is how many guns are in American media. I've never personally seen a desk gun in the USA, though I do see a fair amount of holstered guns in public, but so many TV shows, movies, and even advertisements have random guns popping up even if it's not thematically relevant or appropriate.
