[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 5589460, member: 4881"] How about...tired of not being able to make a "big score" in his field, the character has let himself enter the criminal world of buying black market artifacts to keep his job. Forced to regularly deal with the criminal element, and having more than once lost a large wad of money due to double-crossing, the character contacted a few "friends" in the underworld to get him an easily concealed shotgun to use the next time a deal goes wrong. In one paragraph I just designed a very realistic background to account for having a sawed-off shotgun AND toting it to a business meeting in a church. Maybe the player new to RolePlaying isn't quite as good at coming up with something like this, but in my opinion the game would have been better served by putting time on pause and coming up with an interesting background WHY the character had a sawed-off shotgun in the church rather than telling someone else "Your character wouldn't do that!".
