Deacons for Defense is a 2003 Showtime movie that was inspired by a true story of a group of African American citizens of Bogalusa, Louisiana, who took up arms to protect themselves from the KKK and the local law. The film stars Forest Whitaker, Jonathan Silverman and Ossie Davis and was directed by Bill Duke. Although set in the Deep South, the movie was actually shot in Ontario using many Canadian actors.
The following weapons were used in the film Deacons for Defense:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Bogalusa policemen carry Smith & Wesson Model 10s as their service weapons.
Luger P08
Marcus Clay (Forest Whitaker) is seen with a Luger P08. Since Marcus is a World War II veteran who served in the European theater, it's possible this is a war trophy he picked up.

William Chase (Christopher Britton), the head of the local KKK, carries a M1911A1 pistol. Other Klan members and Baily also carry them.
Submachine Guns
M1928 Thompson

High Standard Flite King
Both a KKK member and a Deacon carry High Standard Flite King shotguns. The shotgun was taken from the KKK member by the Deacon during their first confrontation. This is anachronistic, as the Flite King was released in 1966, two years after when the film is set
Remington 870
A Klansman is armed with what appears to be a Remington 870.
Rifles/Carbines
FN Trombone
Marcus' father Joshua Clay (Calvin Green) and later Marcus are seen with a FN Trombone .22 pump-action rifle.

Marcus is also seen with an original slab-sided M16s.
Other
M60
Another weapon they pick up from the longshoremen, but never use, is a M60 machine gun.
