  1. As a cocaine user in real life, I can make a gram last about two days. This may not be the case if I'm playing Dead by Daylight or Escape from Tarkov. I don't know the drug system, but if the ability to mix drugs and add Fentanyl into any of them is available, you'd probably be dead with less then a gram usage. Sniffing a gram of cocaine would be insane, the drip from your nose, the drip in your throat, the constant gagging and retching you'd experience is something you wouldn't want. And to whom it may concern, M30's don't make you crazy or trip out like if you were on DMT or something. It doesn't work like that and I think you need to re-read the affects of what they to do your body.
  2. Pull me over and I'll show you some variety.
  3. I want to do cocaine in game, but I want to make sure it's not laced with fentaynl.
  4. Here is the map for good cause requirements in the year of 2009: Here is the good cause requirements of 2021: Over the course of twelve years, we seen that there was some drastic changes to about seventeen counties in the state of California. A few went from red to green and red to yellow. In 2009, if you were one of the lucky few located in the red counties, you were more then likely not going to be issued anything. A lighter red I believe would fall in around someone important (high value target): small political figure(s), celebrity(s), district attorney(s), lawyer(s), et cetera. Yellow would have to be something that puts you at a high risk: maybe a business owner transporting a x amount of cash to a bank and or an employee transferring a large amount of cash to a bank (i know you can just bank transfer, but for the sake of realism, let's just assume you travel to an actual bank to do deposits or transactions.); maybe you're a person who buys and flips homes and you have a lot of cash on hand to pay contractors or deposits on houses and or don't use banks. Lighter green or recreational risks would be something around the likes of: going to the mountains / hiking, photography, exotic vehicle ownership, mountain biking. You have high value items, but you can't really hide them and or place them any where because you're out in public. An example could be: Maybe you (your character) has a medical or physical disability, your profession is photography and you're hiking in one of the state parks or you're in a rural area where police response time is thirty minutes to an hour (if that.) "I'm a five foot by five inch (man or woman) weighing in at one hundred and forty pounds, I have a bad knee from a motorcycle accident which causes me to move at relateively slower speeds then the average person. My profession is photopgraphy and I carry a lot of high value items which make me an easy target in rural locations with a high police response time." You can bullshit them IRL, just make it believeable bullshit. Your green is basically: "self-defense" and that's it. I'm personally in one of these counties. Now if we look to the world of GTA, Liberty City was one of the most strictest cities to acquire any guns. That's why the underground gun shops existed. In Los Santos, there were numerous gun shops around the city. I believe acquiring a gun license and or CCW in this city should be more strict (if you wanna follow the realism rules) but not impossible. I don't think it should be the same for the city of Los Santos, but it should be difficult and not just a simple, "cuz self defense", "davis gangsters are outside", "there are multiple masked men running around." Let's say there are some sort of demographics that exist and someone went through the trouble of that: statistics and data showing crime in the greater city of Los Santos. Maybe you can base approval of a CCW if you live in one of these areas (though I feel like this has cons, what if you don't live in one of these area(s) and you travel there to your favorite bar?) Here is some statistics from the actual LAPD website: https://www.crimemapping.com/map/ca/losangeles Acquiring a CCW in Los Santos should fall under one of the three categories: light green, yellow, red. I also think secondary CCWs for law enforcement is dumb. As far as I know, only one type of CCW exists in California. Cops have to apply the same way everyone else does, but with less restrictions and are probably approved without issue based on their career.
  5. The subjective reasoning of wearing a mask in character could be dealt with IC - maybe the character has some sort of phobia, getting sick, sick him/herself, just wears one to wear one. There is no law in reality that forbids you to wear a mask in public unless you commit a crime and then use a mask after the fact to hide your identity. A cop can pull up and ask you why you're wearing a mask and you have every right to tell them to fuck off or completely ignore them. It's suspicious? That a felony or misdemeanor? If they can not come up with valid reasoning, you should be able to go about your business. Personally, I don't see anyone around Los Angeles wearing balaclavas or pooh masks. You see the occasional medical face masks and custom masks from a variety of different ethnicities and age groups. If the issue is IC, then the local law enforcement agency (if they have the problem) or if the civilian populace (if they have the problem) should bring the matter to the mayor's office or a politician. Make it a city ordinance to restrict masks or something for that matter.
  6. IC is IC. Metagame exists in every faction. Thank you for coming.
  7. In the state of California, you can get a regular guard card after about eight hours of training, but you need about forty hours of training by the state agency to officially become one. You also need additional training to even possess a firearm as a security guard. Armed security exists at various banks, venues, stores, even fast food restaurants. I personally have a certification, but that's not my current job. I guess it all depends on the demographics of the area as well. There is a McDonalds about three streets away from a police station that uses two armed security guards in my city.
  8. I think a citizen trying to acquire a firearm in Liberty City is going to have a much harder time then one trying to acquire one in Los Santos due to the crackdown on Ammu-Nation's by the mayor in the year of 2008. Now if this mayor went on with being elected another time and served a total of eight years, he would have been out of there by 2016/17. I'm going to say that the following elected official could have continued down the same righteous path as his predecessor as well as the former continuing to do his work or this could have changed and they went more lax, that's up to the imagination of the player.
  9. To obtain my CCW in the state of California, I had to take an eight hour course from a state approved instructor who varied in what they would charge for the course. After completing the eight hour course, I was given a certificate with the firearm that I used and the serial number because that is what is required when you submit the paperwork. I also had to submit two forms of ID including my driver's license as well as a utility bill, registration, or something showing I had current residency in my city. The CCW through the Sheriff's Office for me costed $200. I paid half first and then the second half upon completing the course. When you do the application online, they want to know about any citations received through out your adult life: speeding, no registration, no insurance, et cetera. They also want to know if you ever had been issued tickets or arrested as a minor. When they run your background, they're gonna know, so if you lie in any form, you'll probably be immediately denied following the interview. When I did my interview, they asked me the same questions that I filled out online and I told them everything that I wrote down. They asked me for references, my employment history and current employment. The final question was why I wanted to obtain a CCW and I told them for "Self-Defense." - as these were my instructor's words as they have no other reason to ask why and you have no other reason to tell them why. It took about four weeks before I was called by a Deputy to tell me my CCW packet was approved and I would receive my card and paperwork in the mail. California is not a Duty to Inform state, I have no reason or obligation to inform a officer who pulls me over that I have a weapon with me. When they ask me for my registration, insurance and driver's license, I include my CCW card anyway as a courtesy. I'm sure that if I didn't provide them with my CCW card, my license would show that I do have a valid CCW. My upcoming renewal for my CCW is $75, I have no idea where you got the $1,080 from beginning to end unless it varies in different counties as far as fees.
