Create a "Concealed Holster" item that can be imported and equipped to clothing.

Hi all! Over the years since the script changes have been implemented to show weapons in 2019 and expanded in 2020/21, there have been tons of suggestions here about allowing rp to hide firearms etc when wearing heavy clothing.

My suggestion is very simple: I would like to see a clothing item created and available to illegal factions via import and legal characters through gun stores called a "concealed holster" which allows you to hide various, realistic weapons.

I think this would allow a more seamless experience for players than any current iteration, as we could still take a "if you see it you see it" approach through script support and allow people further flexibility in their roleplay. Of course there would need to be a little vetting on which clothing would make sense to be worn with the holster, but MOST clothing irl can support a concealed firearm without it printing as long as worn correctly. Obviously bathing suits or no shirt would need to still display the weapon.

.50 and suppressed firearms would not fit the holster

I like the idea. Some previous conversation I remember (2+ years ago at this point) kind of landed on "if the clothes don't hide it on your hip/back naturally, it's too big to conceal".

While I agree on that for big handguns like the .50, Heavy Revolver, and anything with elongating attachments, something like the Combat Pistol or SNS (maybe even just those two, considering their designations as "compact") should be concealable for the lower damage tradeoff. I'd even like this holster purchasable from the gun store for normally licensed folks too, as my character always feels like he's got a target on his back with criminals looking for a free gun.

+1 hiding guns is realistic so I think this is a good idea that allows for more RP scenarios.

to add to this just let legals buy regular holsters to.  +1
