Hi, I've not been playing for too long but have been enjoying my time on the server so far. I am learning new things by the day but one thing that truly surprised me was the gun on the hip system?
So, I'm walking down the street with a gun on my person and I didn't actually think the gun sitting on my hip outside of my jacket was visible to people, I thought it must've been a glitch of sorts but it wasn't and it turns out people can actually see it with no way of me to conceal it.
My question is why? I've never seen anybody hold a gun on the outside of their jacket on their waistline. It's unheard of really. I'm surprised there isn't a /conceal option so you can tuck your gun away. Being realistic, nobody walks around with their gun out on display like that especially criminals with illegal firearms.
I believe this is a system that works against criminals and in favour of the police, I don't think it's fair that police can know straight away who has a weapon on them just by looking at their character. I understand with hard to conceal items or heavy weapons but a pistol can easily be tucked away either inside a coat or in your waistline with a t shirt pulled over it so I can't quite figure out why the obvious option to conceal your pistol isn't actually an option.
I also believe this can spoil a lot of roleplay scenarios. You can't be armed and approach anybody and just have a normal roleplay experience because they see the elephant in the room instantly - the gun on the outside of your jacket on your hip.
My suggestion is to maybe have a look at that and see if there are any other alternatives simply due to the unrealistic nature of it alone.
Thanks for reading!
