Stereotypical as in representation through movies ect. ?
If so, then yes it seems like it was tolerated.
(But I doubt that there was a "right to bear arms" in most medieval societies)
Mind you that there is a constant war going on in Tolkien's work, stuff like that has a tendency to heighten peoples tolerance of public display of weapons ...
