We’ll probably have to just discuss Day vs Information tomorrow on Discord.On the ordinance, I want to clarify because it seems like what I’m thinking is blowing up. No one should be able to interpret it as “impossible” to carry in London.This is what I wrote and what I had in mind:I’m not imagining (a) London-wide ordinance here nor am I imagining (b) deeply encoded, impossible to misinterpret or abuse ordinance.I would be making this personal in the same way that it was personal in the Wild West:Local Lawman has wide sweeping power to keep the peace.Think Chinese press charges like “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” that are  used to brook no dissent or shut down any expression the govt doesn’t want.So you’re talking about a local ordinance in the area of this particular ward around this precinct that invests this particular constable with powers.So he might demand that your grip be painted bright yellow or that the hammer be fitted with a bright yellow tassle. Something to show that this rugged individualist American rabblerouser has been brought to heel. “Folks can always see the gun plain as day and know that you’ve complied with local law enforcement so they can walk easy on the street with a Yankee wearing a gun.”The point of it would be to test your conception of character as it relates to a particular lawman putting you in the crosshairs (a portent of your Threat, The Pinkerton, coming into play downstream), to see if you submit or dispute or escalate, to see if this is fodder for a later Vulnerable move/reveal past with Mask of the Past/a reflection of how you gained The Quickening Curse, to see if this constable becomes a possible future Threat or a Side Character.This is not an impersonal “all of London is a gun-free zone and anyone carrying is going straight to a cell” type deal. Local ordinance. This Constable deploying vague powers (perhaps abusing them or being corrupt…further play would determine) to keep the peace in a rough part of town (like would happen in a small dusty town in The Wild West that you’ve just run from and are trying to escape).Do you still feel similarly?</blockquote>
