[quote=@Vatonage] I'm still trying to locate the exact laws in regards to [i]legal ownership[/i], but from the research papers and other documents I've read, Massachusetts generally has a low % of people owning firearms vs. nationwide. I'm not sure if a low legal ownership percentage was the same back in the 90s; however, around the late 80s to the mid 90s, Boston, like a number of US cities at the time, did have a huge spike in gang conflicts and unregistered/illegal guns being on the street. In Boston in particular these events were mostly limited primarily in disadvantaged neighborhoods according to what I've found/read. There's also [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartley-Fox_Law]this law[/url] that I've found also deals with illegal and unlicensed ownership. To answer the question, though, personally I'm a little stingy when it comes to firearms in these types of RPs. It's part of the reason why I'm largely against police and military characters and almost always permanently ban those types of characters from the get-go. Honestly, I would prefer you to stay away from guns, but it's your call. We are still accepting. Though it isn't first come, first serve; I'll be reviewing sheets in a few days before giving people time to address any potential changes or concerns before doing a final look over and choosing who I'll be accepting. [/quote] I understand the stinginess, certainly. As for my character specifically, he hasn't been in Boston for that long and it's easily conceivable he just hasn't had the time/thought to invest in a firearm. It would be a big coincidence that no one in the building has one, but that's not much of an issue. On another note, having just one firearm in conceptually interesting, as for the implications that holds for the power hierarchy and social dynamic of the inhabitants. Not sure where Alton died, but maybe if it was outside and he had a firearm (though he was only a security guard) then that would be a cool little mission for them to undertake, with the added drama of who gets the thing in the aftermath. I won't speculate too much on that. In any case, I'll remain with your preference. Wyatt will be cursing himself that he put off the matter so long (assuming I get accepted : D)
