I'd go for something simple and foolproof, but not deadly to the wielder. eg: % l The Town Square % A guard arrives from the north. % The guard tells you, 'No weapons bared in town - sheathe that sword at once!' % The guard tells you, 'Well then, I'll just have to confiscate that.' The guard snatches a silver longsword from your hand. The guard tells you, 'If I catch you bearing weapons here again, you'll be ejected.' % wield axe You wield a battle-axe. % The guard says, 'Two strikes and you're out, Bubba!' The guard snatches a battle-axe from your hand. The guard grabs you by the collar, and drags you outside the gates. The guard says, 'Come back when you can keep the peace!' % l Outside the Town Gates % If the player tried to walk off after being challanged, just have the guard intercept them, as in: 'The guard puts out his arm and blocks your path.'
