	Gun control is extremly strict in GS Towns, with civilians outright forbidden to own handguns and a penalty of up to 25 years in prison for each offense. That ~~being~~ said, rifles and shotguns are ~~actually~~ widely available, and in many towns do not even require a permit. There is usually a waiting period though ~~licenes~~ can be obtained which negate this(the prequisite requires that you already own a firearm and have no criminal record).

	There are also strict penalties for modifying weapons, specifically if these modifications are to make the gun smaller and easier to conceal. Carrying a weapon in public is typically illegal. Most local laws stipulate that it must be in some sort of gun case, though in some areas this law is not enforced at all(so called "[[Battle Charter#Petty Laws\|petty laws]]" are at the discretion of the C.O.)

GS Town, short for [[Gudersnipe]] System Town, is a town, city, or region entirely under the jurisdiction of the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]].
