How do I keep Arthur from removing non-pistol weapons while riding his horse?

[NiftyPower]

It seems that Arthur keeps unequipping rifles, shotguns, etc. while riding his horse, and I keep ending up in circumstances where I no longer have those weapons during combat situations. How do I keep Arthur from ditching weaponry?

No way to stop this behavior. It is completely stupid, and shows a lack of maturity from R* developers.

Arthur will always unequip weapons when entering camp, towns, and certain locations. - you just need to remember to re-equip.

Weapon selections are also pre-made for certain missions, but mainly only affect a single slot, with the other slot left alone.

Dismounting before entering mission or camp/town areas will sometimes prevent being disarmed or forced weapon swaps.

Also watch out for random ammunition changes.
