    The Breakfast Gun goes on whichever side the diner’s firing hand is.

    Edits below!

    After some discussion and reflection, I agree with @[email protected] that the Breakfast Gun would indeed go on the left, “to show you plan for a peaceful meal.”

    Furthermore, presentation of Firearms depends on the level of dining:

    At a polite table, guests are expected to lay their Meal Arms down holstered, so as not to soil the table linens. Placing a Meal Arm directly on the tablecloth is a sign of disrespect.

    At a formal table, a Firearm Napkin will be provided for each diner. This allows diners to display their Meal Arms openly without soiling the linens.

    At a “high table,” Meal Arms will be provided by the host. These Arms, while fully functional, are adorned with many engravings and flourishes, as a demonstration of the host’s status, and the diner’s status as a guest at the table.

      Real shooters can shoot with both hands.

                Clearly it’s from Holy Wood.

                Having seen it, I have to say that it’s inspired by India.

                It’s not a very good movie, but it has those scenes.

      It goes on the opposite side to show you plan for a peaceful meal.

      That isn’t an ambidextrous gun, so it belongs on the right.
