If they are riding with guns and the serials are still on it that's extra, but there's strawman schemes and weapon specialists with abilities just to remove serials from firearms for that reason.

 

Still, most real-life gang members would not walk into a police station and fill out forms with their personal information, study laws and do tests, give their fingerprints and have their face on police CCTV, then walk into a legal gun store and have the same thing repeated with each purchase being on their record just so they can then remove the serial number and commit crime. The only reason it would happen on GTA World is because weapons are hard to acquire, but they're not in real life.

 

For OP's suggestion, most bangers would also not go through this entire process just so they can offer legal security services. If anything they'd do it unofficially, with an illegal firearm on their person or in their vicinity, or with none.

There should be no OOC restrictions on individuals wanting to get a PF/GC/CCW - Especially in the case when gang members are attempting to work regular jobs such as security jobs.

 

PF Abuse - Buying weapons to resell, or hoarding weapons, should be addressed as normal and still forbidden.

I'd say this. A gang membership should be IC, OOC check for gang membership shouldn't even be there. Unless you are flagged in MDC as gang affiliated, which is IC. It's all fine.

Abuse should be severely punished, but OOC gang affiliation shouldn't be an obstacle, if your character has clean record and is not classified as gang associate or full member.

Just saying... all it takes is one "Possession of a Controlled Substance" or higher to lose P.F. ownership.

It'd be a lot of work, though, to revoke the hundreds of P.F. throw-away gang-banger characters just to appeal to the one or two niche serious security guard gang-banger roleplayer... maybe just ask an admin for perms, instead?

The only illegal groups who can't get one are street gangs like others said. Coming from someone who used to be in fld: pf abuse is very annoying and hard to catch. Most of the time the damage is done by the time its found out so yeah. Giving more people access to said guns is not a good idea. 

 

I'll have to agree with this, PF abuse was a really big thing in LSRP. If OCGs and MCs are already allowed we should keep it like that.

Posting this as someone who used to be a Firearms Licensing Coordinator in FLD. I don't see why people are +1 or -1'ing this, there is no rule that prohibits illegal characters from obtaining a PF/GC/CCW. The only characters prohibited are those who are gang affiliated.  Are you a biker? You can get a PF/GC/CCW. Russian mobster? Yes, you too. Any other crime group? Yep. Street racer? I don't see why not.
