    Type Of Suggestion: Weapons



    Explanation of your Suggestion:


    So the idea i have is to change the way weapons holstering works.

    For one the idea is that Firearms like Shotgun's, SMG's (with maybe few exceptions?), Assault Rifles or other type of Long Gun's,

    Can only be stored in Lockers, Vehicles, or slinged onto the back, with under no circumstance able to be put inside a backpack, vest, belt or cloths,


    As for Pistols, (and possibly exception SMG's) being able to be held within Backpack's, Vests, Belts or Cloths.

    However...

    When one Holsters a Pistol the pistol will automatically be moved from the Sidearm slot into the Backpack, Vest, Belt or Cloths depending where there is space to store it,

    but if there is no space to stow it, the weapon will be dropped onto the ground.

    (Showgun's, non excepted SMG's & Long Gun's, will be slinged)


    Now as for Sidearms, one can equip a belt or vest with a holster so that when you holster the sidearm, the sidearm will remain in the sidearm slot.

    (this will be considered open carrying that can be allowed by law if have a license, and carry in backpack, vest, belt or cloths is consealed carry).


    One thing that should be to note is that not all Civilian Vest's or Belts provide a Holster for open carrying.

    So only those set as having a holster will holster and open carry, otherwise it will try stow the sidearm into the backpack, vest, belt or cloths.

    (Law Enforcement Vest's & Belts are all with holster)


    Why are you suggesting this?:


    The reason i am suggesting this is to perhaps allow adding a license for legal open carrying.

    But mostly to have a better way to handle holstered weapons.
