Not sure which places in the world you are referring to, but it's illegal in most places, and where it's not illegal, it's generally frowned upon to be carrying guns, unless you're actively visiting areas where it's advisable to carry a gun, but those are not places you stay for long in, certainly not to live there long-term, more like areas you have to pass through.

That's not the case in the majority of the United States, though it mostly is elsewhere.

"most of the world != majority of the United States" though.

Agreed, I wasn't arguing that point.

The only unique part of this is that it's in the trademark policy itself rather than in a supplemental events policy when you ask to be authorized to use the trademark for your event.

Carrying firearms around is a non-issue in most of the world because in most of the world, civilian possession and use of firearms is strictly regulated if not outright banned. Obviously this is not the case in the US.
Banning all weapons from conferences? No need for that. Having an evacuation plan? Only if required by local health regulations. Ensuring the physical safety of participants? If you feel like it. Allowing firearms? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Carrying firearms around is already a non-issue in most of the world, so it's pretty weird to focus so much on it.
