Warning!
The following text is from a player whose time in the server is no less than 2 weeks at this point. I’m still trying to understand some things and this is merely Criticism and for Server feedback purposes! Please enjoy reading.
Suggestion: I’m suggesting that Civilians and Criminals be given the ability to Conceal Small arm Weapons and melee weapons for the purpose of incognito and prevention from Criminal Targeting and Gun Theft.
The Concealment can be given Via Command or possible Animation that helps put the weapon away so that nobody can see what you have. Obviously this cannot apply to Police Except DEA/Undercover, For uniform Policy Purposes. I’m also suggesting that IF the weapon IS CONCEALED it takes ether longer to pull out or an Action to “Reveal” Weapon.
anything that is too big or is considered a “Long Arm Weapon” cannot be concealed and will appear for all to see.
Explanation: Lately from what was been told to me by everyone, is that it’s NOT even worth owning a Firearms license due to the fact that criminals will SPECIFICALLY target you to take the gun.
While I understand it is hard to get guns sometimes as a crim, it’s not okay for the fact that people have their weapons sticking to the sides of their clothing on their bodies or the ass part, which other people have made ways to hide it by buying certain clothes to overlap or make the pistol blend in. In a roleplay standpoint, you cannot roleplay “Concealing” the weapon because 9 out of 10 times, Crims/Cops will see the gun and go Meh. It’s on your body so we can see it. People shouldn’t also have to bag the pistols or store them in the car as it defeats the purpose of carrying a firearm, you’ll never get the chance to use it if someone draws on you.
I also find it unrealistic that people can “Assume” you can have the gun while you RP having it concealed due to the simple fact the weapons stick to your clothing. Which leads to the targeting and weapon being taken, your License can also be revoked by the LSPD if you get robbed/LOSE the weapon too many times. I believe it is way more realistic for people to be able to hide their firearms as it gives Police/Civs/Crims Reasons to use Discretion when robbing or conducting business/stops as you NEVER know who may be armed and what threat they pose to you.
it also allows police to conduct their jobs more realistically by actually searching for weapons and contraband. Which if they do find it, you may be subject to investigation if it’s illegal which can open up more doors for possible RP and Risks that crims have to take. But at the end of the day, I find it incredibly unrealistic and pointless to own a Firearms license and to even carry a gun if it’s just gonna stick out. And I don’t believe people should have to sacrifice their looks just to hide a simple weapon.
Pros & Cons

Criminals won’t be able to target people based off what’s on their hip and will have to use better judgment.

More Realistic RP scanarios with reasoning to be afraid when presented by groups.

New/Old Crims mad they cannot find easy victims.
The horror of finding out how to make it work via scripting or coding.
