BILL

Amend the Criminal Code to Allow Citizens to Open Carry​

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by Representative Moyfr.

2 - Reasons
(1) In the current law, simply carrying a weapon in a public space (such as spawn) can land you in prison and levy a hefty fine on the player.
(2) In most cases, citizens unknowingly carry weapons in areas such as spawn either by being afk at the center, showing the weapon while scrolling through their inventories, or simply don't notice that the item they possess is classified as a weapon.
(3) Players may need to carry weapons in protected areas in self defense as the moment they leave they may be subject to harm or death depending on the circumstance.
(4) This current law is a victimless and often accidental mistake that players make.

Offence Type: Summary
Penalty:
(a) First offence - 1 Penalty Units;
(b) Second offence - 2 Penalty Units; 5 min imprisonment;
