* ''Seies/TheOddCouple'': A non-violent example in "[[Recap/TheOddCouple1970S2E15SecurityArms Security Arms]]"; Felix, who caught the robbers in the act and got bound and gagged, feels unsafe in the apartment after the experience and starts looking for a safer place to live. Even as the "security measures" for the new apartment start becoming increasingly restrictive and/or creepy (like mirrors the staff can see through), Felix brushes it off as just the price of security. Even he eventually decides it's not worth it.

* ''Literature/HannahSwenson:'': A variant occurs in book 2 (''Strawberry Shortcake Murder''). In the climax, Hannah wrestles the villain's gun away and manages to injure and restrain him. Later that evening, she asks Herb Beeseman to teach her how to handle a handgun. Not because she's planning to buy one herself, but so she knows how to use one if she ever finds herself in a similar situation again — she already knows how to safely handle a shotgun, since her father taught her, but not handguns.
* ''Series/MurderSheWrote'': In book 12 (''Murder at the Powderhorn Ranch''), after Paul Molloy is found dead and Jessica has to tell his wife, Geraldine has a slight panic attack and runs back inside, hiding in the bedroom and then comes out of the cabin with a revolver (she later claims it's because she heard someone in the cabin; she did, but it was just Jessica, who'd gone inside because she was worried about the other woman). She later explains to the local sheriff's department that it was her husband's, who had it because of this trope — he'd been attacked a year or so back and bought it for protection. It's never confirmed if this was true or not after it comes out that she's a government agent and their "marriage" is just a cover story.
