I just want to say (should have explained it better in the OP probably) all weapons must be System approved. Anything home made would have to be kept a secret and hidden. If you came to Barrowside from outside, and where armed, then your weapons would be confiscated. Only people who would be allowed firearms are serious system employees. However, you would have to hand them back once you leave your job for the day. Anything considered a weapon will be confiscated if found.

Barrowside isn't a nice place to live, and our characters will be leaving to head for the Haven that is being kept quiet. My character will get everyone weapons when they leave.
