Ever since I first joined PH back in 2014 I've always asked this question, why can't we have concealed carried firearms? The answer is obvious, Paralake is a crime ridden city where people being shot on a daily basis is a normal occurrence. However, this is also the exact reason for being able to carry a concealed firearm. To make this post easier to view, I will provide a point and an explanation in a paragraph, and hopefully spark discussion about one of the most perilous questions asked.
The first major reason why concealed carried firearms are a necessity are because of the rampant crime. Everywhere you go, you're unsafe, whether it be mugged near the parking garage to being gunned down in a massive shootout in front of the PD, you have no way of protecting yourself. There is a dilemma each player faces, go to jail or go to the morgue, and unfortunately due to the laws and policies of the PLPD, most people end up without a gun, in jail, and with a 5k ticket ($$$ might be wrong).
The second reason is because most people already carry firearms on them, including me. People like us risk our imprisonment for our protection, which depending on the situation can cause an incursion with 3.4. I know that community policing isn't exactly a strong suit within the police department, but charging someone for having a pistol on them is redundant, a waste of time, and leaves one (or two) officers sitting around while there is actual crime going on. Officers, I ask you this, where would you rather be; arresting someone for having a Walther PPK on them, or patrolling and stopping people actually doing harm with their weapons.
The last reason I want to state is that removing firearms used legally hurts the in game economy. Currently, when you are caught with a firearm, your weapon gets removed, you go to jail, and pay a hefty fine. With the current system, that money (from what I can tell) doesn't go anywhere, so by citing and removing the firearm from the person, you are actively hurting the city. But while people are selling their firearms, money is transferred and is eventually reintroduced into the economy, either by buying from another player, or to taxes which go to the city funds. One last thing I want to point out is firearms are still legal to sell, but not to be utilized in the way they'd be most useful, which means most firearms stay in storage not helping anybody or anything.
In conclusion, being able to conceal carry firearms, helps the city, rather than just an individual. Paralake has a rampant crime outbreak that even being outside the police department doesn't mean you're safe. Being able to carry firearms on your person would also remove the need to waste time charging the person, cite the person, and removing the firearm, all which actively hurt the city. Thank you for taking your time to read this, and if I get enough support I will make a shorter list and introduce a law form.
