You can practice the following scripts if you are in any situations around weapons:

If you are not sure about the rules somewhere, ask someone in charge, "Can you please tell me what the rules are for weapons in this place?"

Someone is talking about weapons and you don’t feel comfortable — "I do not feel comfortable talking about this. I do not feel safe when we talk about weapons. Please stop talking about them with me."

Someone is threatening you. Tell someone you trust, "Someone is saying they are going to hurt me with a weapon. I need help."

You are showing someone a weapon that you own and someone wants to touch it. Say, "I cannot let you touch this because it might not be safe. I don’t want you to get hurt."
