Locking down the city to Los Santos only would be cool, the same way SAMP LSRP had mappings in Los Santos, but nothing in San Fierro or Las Venturas.

It was pretty good, reminded me of Jake Gylenhaal's Prisoners

Relax with the passive aggressiveness and the toxic remarks. Not really interested in discussing anything with your constant use of ad hominem. Yes, rifles and shotguns shouldn't cost nearly $10000 dollars, but they also shouldn't cost anything less than a few thousand dollars in game. Owning a car is a privilege, it doesn't matter what Forbes says, having a car is a privilege and it always will be, until the government starts handing out vehicles to every single citizen - it is going to be a privilege. Hunting is an activity that not many people can do, due to simply not having a $1000 or more or hell, even $500 to invest in hunting supplies, thus, by definition, it is a privilege to be able to go hunting, the same way it is a privilege to go golfing, this is a very basic concept. The average person in California cannot go to a Bass Pro Shop and walk out with a $400 Mossberg 500, first of all, $400 will only get you a very poorly performing Canik shotgun, with taxes, sales tax and firearm taxes, it's going to be somewhere near $700 if the MSRP is $500, I live here. I don't think you understand that the average person does not have extra couple of hundred dollars to go hunting, no one said it was an expensive hobby, either, it is a hobby that requires financial investing and the privileges of being able to drive a car, yes, being able to drive a car is a privilege and not a right, by definition. I'm not interested in reading your passive aggressive remarks, asking me what drugs I'm on et cetera when we're having a peaceful and civil discourse, tone it down. However, what I'm interested in talking about is that yes, shotguns and rifles should not cost $7000 or $5000, a rifle's price should come up to somewhere near one or three thousand dollars after tax, not including ammo. Rifles shouldn't cost $1000, that's too cheap and yes, same goes for shotguns, they also shouldn't cost anywhere near $5000, they should cost less than what I suggested for the rifle price. If all you're asking for is for the legal, law abiding citizen to be able to afford a rifle to go hunting with your car, then you should expect to be charged at least 5% or 10% of the amount that your car is worth for such an endeavor, LSRP is not real life, you're right. But, having shotguns and rifles that cost pennies to the dollar also does not make sense. Make an in character goal and work multiple jobs in game to be able to afford your rifles and shotguns, all the ammo and gear you need for hunting gear. This is what people do in real life, since you bring up real life so constantly. Being able to go hunting every single day is not a feat for the average American, which is an unfortunate thing, but you need to understand the budget that the average American is working with, especially in California.

The game is set in San Andreas which is a reflection of California, any other country's salary or standards to hunting are irrelevant.

This has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Being able to have the equipment and financial opportunity to hunt in today's age is most definitely a privilege.

Guns should never reflect the real life counterpart prices in real life, until we start having cars that cost $2000 and $3000's out the door through used car lots. I live in California, you can buy a used car here for $4000, you can't do the same thing in game, everything is at a markup, because you earn $500 for driving a truck a couple of miles, in real life, $500 is some people's weekly paycheck. Pistols shouldn't be cheap, neither should the rifles or the shotgun. The average person cannot afford to splurge on a shotgun or a fancy rifle just because they want to go hunting, you are roleplay an average person when you're playing on the server, unless otherwise shown. Hunting is a privilege the same way, having and being able to afford to drive a car is a privilege. Having the gas in your car to be able to drive your car is a privilege, our ancestors hunting frequently in the past is absolutely incomparable and nonsensical when you're talking about buying weapon that cost several hundreds to a thousand dollars, not including the ammunition, permits, et cetera. Hunting is absolutely a privilege.

Hunting is a privilege, owning a gun is a privilege, owning a long rifle is a privilege. Hunting is not an affordable activity for the average person, either. It requires a rifle, ammunition, means of transportation and not to mention a Hunting Permit which will soon be required for hunting activities. A rifle should cost somewhere between two or three thousand dollars, but if you can dish out $3000 for a rifle which you intent to just use for fun, I don't seem to get why you can't dish out $2000 dollars more for the same thing, sure $7000 is a wild price for a shotgun, but with the price comes the incentive that you need to take care of your property and its YOUR responsibility if your property gets stolen and nobody else's fault. If you're constantly being robbed, then I don't know what to tell you, you need to worry more about other people not knowing where you live so you can safeguard your possessions.

You're supposed to take care of your possessions the same way you don't leave your car unlocked and with its engine running in middle of Forum drive, this is not hard to understand. If you buy a rifle and you lose it the same day, that's on you. I don't understand why you think that rifles with high magazine capacities should be dirt cheap. Are there used car lots in the game that have used vehicles for $2000-$3000 like in real life, no. Cars cost a lot of money and so they should, comparing real life prices to in game prices is irrelevant. You can easily make a few thousand dollars every single day on the server and I also don't understand the need for multiple expensive weapons, you buy a good rifle, you take care of it, this is how it is and should be. Guns should not be thrown around like candy with little to no regard, we are talking about firearms here, they give you the power to PK any player from any type of situation. Treating something like a museum piece and taking care of your firearms so they don't end up in somebody else's hands are not the same things by any imaginable margin.

It's not an issue of being high and mighty, but preventing easy and cheap access to high powered guns. You want a high powered gun with a scope so you can shoot down deer in the wilderness? Be my guest, but if you think it shouldn't cost you a pretty penny, then I completely disagree. You are wanting high quality privileged activities such as hunting, even in real life the average person cannot go hunting because of its cost. If you want a shotgun for self defense, work and get that money, buy it and store it in a safe and take care of it, so you don't have to buy another one next week, this also applies in real life, something you keep mentioning in real life. Sure, maybe the rifle shouldn't cost $7000 dollars and the shotgun shouldn't cost $5000, but a rifle costing $3000 is extremely reasonable, if you don't have the $3000 for a rifle and there's no argument about it, sure, you could have shotguns be $2000-$2500 which would make sense, but to sit here and claim that rifles should cost $1000 is outrageous.

You seem to have high standards in character, if you want to be able to enjoy the privileged opportunities to go and hunt or do something else, then you need to earn the money for it and be able to buy a decent rifle for the job. Hunting is a privilege and so is literally any other activity surrounding firearms. Food items costing $50 means that everything is marked up by a 3-4x multiplier and so are guns. A single piece of gauze costing $34 dollars is a prime example of this to match the economy of a video game. In real life a piece of gauze costs a few cents .

Rifles should not be easily accessible and should never be as cheap as $1000. If you want a gun for outdoor activities, which is a privilege, then you should earn that money to buy the rifle. Having guns is not a right, it's a privilege to those who can afford it, in and out of the game. Being a cop in the game has nothing to do with my viewpoint, it's a shared ideology that rifles should not be as cheap as $1000. We have proper PF license regulations and everything you've proposed is already a rule, I recommend reading the PF rules section so you can familiarize yourself with the rules that are already imposed. Requiring someone to be lvl 10 to apply for PF is an extreme approach. I've been playing since release and I'm only level 8. The fact is that guns should not be easily accessible or cheap in any regard, if you want the privilege of going hunting, then you should earn that money to be able to buy a rifle, which would also be a one time purchase since guns last forever and don't have durability, now if you keep losing your guns for whatever reason, that is on you.

Because if you care about your money, you should also care about where it goes. If you're buying an expensive rifle, I expect you to take care of it and at least not use it loosely in a crime that will get you to lose the weapon. $3000-$4000 for a bare bones rifle makes sense, maybe not $7000, but these prices are not that steep and if you want to use them for tame roleplay such as hunting, then all you gotta do is buy it once and make sure you don't lose it, which applies to virtually every possession. If you want to be able to buy rifles for cheap so you can just use them in every gang shooting, lose it, then be able to buy a new one, then I don't agree with you at all. Let's not start comparing real life to the server please, single food items cost $50 because you can 2-3$k in a matter of few hours. If you are not willing to work for your nice, tricked out ammo, its attachments and a lot of ammo -- then you shouldn't be able to buy it, at all.

Lot of people use rifles, everyday, including when they open fire on police, there's a lot of rifles that are used in crimes. $1000 for a rifle is absolutely unacceptable, a good gun with good attachments and a lot of ammo is an investment and shouldn't cost petty change you can get from a few trucking routes.

It's not about what's realistic, but what makes sense for the economy and the playerbase. If you want a cool tricked out reliable rifle, I want you to dish out a lot of money for it and I expect you to harbor it and take great care of it. You shouldn't be able to just buy a snazzy rifle or a shotgun every two days because you lost one the day before, you are supposed to invest in a good reliable gun, ammo, attachments and take care of it.
