Weapon and Driver's License Legislation
introduction
The Weapons License Policy is designed to regulate citizens' ownership and use of firearms, ensuring public safety and compliance with the law. This policy outlines the conditions for obtaining and using a weapons license.
Constitutional Justification
Citizens of the State of San Andreas are permitted to defend themselves and others should the need ever arise in their day to day lives. We find it compelling that with the existence of criminal weapons that those with nefarious intentions might use to victimize civilians, that they should be afforded similar weapons to defend themselves.
The only firearm permitted under this license is the M1911, which must be purchased from Ammu-Nation. Ownership of any other firearm is strictly prohibited.
Application Process
Provide Proof of Identity
Pay the applicable license fee of $15,000 to the San Andreas Department of Justice (Payment is taken directly from Individual bank account)
No Violent Felony or or Violent misdemeanor charges on your record
MDT Profile needs to have a valid photo and fingerprint on profile.
Approval and Issuance
Upon successful review of the application and background check, a weapons license will be issued by a County Clerk/Judge/Justice.
The applicant must be able to explain the Criminally Negligent Ownership of a Firearm charge to the satisfaction of the clerk/judge/Justice issuing the license.
The applicant must be able to explain “Stand Your Ground” as a concept to the satisfaction of the clerk/judge/Justice issuing the license.
Usage Restrictions
The M1911 may only be used for self-defense and lawful recreational shooting.
The M1911 may not be modified in any way
The Registered owner may only have one registered firearm at a time.
You must report to the San Andreas Police Department if a firearm is stolen from yourself/Property within 24 hours in person.
Violating this restriction opens the owner to Criminal Possession of a Class 1 Firearm charges and removal of their weapons license.
Exemptions
As part of their duties, Law Enforcement Officers will be issued a Weapons License to carry a GLOCK 20 firearm or any other firearms that can be obtained from their Armory. This License does NOT permit the usage of these firearms off-duty. This permission also extends to magazines/ammunition of the issued firearms. This License does NOT permit the usage of this firearm off-duty. Law Enforcement Officers are required to seek out a second Weapons License issued via this legislation should they wish to carry M1911 of duty.
Prohibited Actions
Ownership or possession of firearms other than M1911 (firearms at ammunation) is illegal.
Use of a weapon for unlawful purposes that also includes threats or assaults will result in the weapons license being revoked and legal action.

False reporting of a stolen weapon will result in the weapons license being revoked and legal action.
Class 2 and or Class 3 Weapons
A Weapons License does not cover using a Class 2 or Class 3 Weapon/s.
Possession or use of a Class 2 or Class 3 weapon/s will result in legal action.

Citizens will have their weapons license revoked should they be in violation of any of the Prohibited Actions within the legislation.
Citizens may have their weapons license revoked by a sitting Judge/Justice or Law Enforcement should there be sufficient probable cause they have been committing violent felonies or violent misdemeanors
Driver’s License Legislation
Any Law Enforcement revoking a citizen’s weapons license/driver’s/hunting/fishing e.g must note on the citizen’s MDT profile the incident number, the officer’s name, and date license is revoked.
In addition to a regulating Weapons license, the following guidelines shall be followed for an issued Driver's License.
Upon accumulation of 30 Points, the individual will no longer be permitted to drive and will qualify as driving on a suspended license. Their License on their MDT Profile will be removed by an Law Enforcement Officer issuing the fine/points that pushes them over the 30 point limit. Points fall off on a rolling basis from the time the points were applied on their driving license.
Reinstatement of a Driver’s License, the individual will be required to speak with a County Clerk/Judge/Justice from the Department of Justice and payment of $1000 service fee.
Conclusion
These guidelines should provide sufficient boundaries for all citizens to legally arm themselves, while also ensuring these weapons do not end up in the hands of criminals. If they do fall hands into criminals sufficient penalties will be applied and justice will have it say.
