GENERAL PROTOCOLS
Firearm CourtesyThough some of the following may not be laws, it is common courtesy to follow all of these when dealing with a firearm.
  • Notify law enforcement of your legal carry - During a traffic stop, or any encounter with law enforcement, you should keep your hands visible, and state that you are legally carrying a firearm, explaining its location. If the weapon is a rifle or larger weapon that is not holsterable, the weapon should be cleared of its ammunition and placed on the ground.
  • Comply with law enforcement - You should always comply with law enforcement, even if the orders are questionable. There is always time to complain, but when a Trooper orders your weapon over, they are attempting to ensure everyone's safety.
  • Comply with all firearm protocols that are laid out by the State of San Andreas and the Red County Sheriff's Department. Failure to abide by these protocols could result in your license to carry being revoked, and the possibility of a jail sentence depending on the severity of the crime.
  • You must not interfere with any government agency operations or take part in any illegal activities such as shootings. If any shooting occurs and you are nearby, you must seek cover and contact 911 immediately and relay to the dispatcher what is happening. You are urged to stay calm and stay hidden. Under no circumstance should you withdraw your firearm unless your life is in danger.
  • By receiving your firearm permit, you agree to the terms that the Red County Sheriff's Department has the right to detain you at any moment in time if you are believed to be involved in any sort of criminal activity, or you are found to have your sidearm drawn and/or discharged. You agree that the Intelligence Unit can detain you as they see fit, and seize any and all firearms you have, whether this is temporary or permanent. Failure to cooperate with the Red County Sheriff's Department and Intelligence Unit could lead to your arrest.
  • Upon entering any government building, you must hand your firearm(s) in to the security guard at the main reception before proceeding further into the building. Failure to do so will lead to a forceful arrest.
  • Treat all firearms as if they are loaded. To ensure further safety, you must keep your finger off of the trigger and keep it extended along the barrel of the sidearm. You should also keep the muzzle of the gun aimed down at the ground at a 45-degree angle to prevent any harmful incidents if they should occur. This allows for safety and quick-fire if danger occurs. To further ensure safety if shooting does occur, raise the firearm up to eye level so that the iron sights are used as best as possible so that accuracy is maintained.
The CCW Licensing Unit Command Team reserves the right to revoke your firearm carry permit at any time, for any reason. (( IC and OOC )), Please ensure that you read through the firearm carry permit protocols, which can be found here. These protocols may change at any time without notice and failure to keep updated on them might result in removal of your license.
