[quote=@TTNoobs] Not to answer for the GM, I couldn't know his stance, but guns are [i]incredibly [/i] rare in the UK. The only people who have them in large quantities are a specific branch of police, the armed police, who are specially called out in situations which require guns, rank and file police don't carry firearms of any kind. I myself have grown up and lived my entire life in the UK and have only ever seen a gun once in my life, in Northern Ireland, on a police officer (the only place in the UK where they do carry weapons). A few farmers have shotguns, but the odds of them serving in usable quantities is very low. It's not so much "stricter gun laws" as it is a complete ban - you are not allowed to own any firearms and possession will get you arrested. I am actually making a character from further north who was a member at one point, do you mind if I have some creative leway on his backstory, or have you great plans for them? (I had assumed, since they're a knightly order, that they're catholic). [/quote] I snuck the big phase of right wing politics into the backstory so that we could have slightly more liberal gun laws. after the point of divergence, but all in all guns are very rare. Overtime barracks and such have been raided, so guns have become more freely available, but they won't be accessible to players to begin with. And I was hoping we'd get a former Ordinem character! Feel free to take some creative liberties, but if you could pm me your CS before submitting it I'd be very grateful.
