Hi, folks.

I am aware that England had begun limiting access to personal weapons by the 1920s, but that very strict regulations were not put into place until somewhat later. Any thoughts on what weapons (middle and poor upper class) London-based PCs and (mostly working class) rural NPCs could believably possess in an adventure set in 1930 rural England? I'm thinking perhaps a handgun or knife for some of the urbanites and many farmers would most likely have a small rifle and/or shotgun for dealing with vermin, and maybe just a fat stick for the publicans. Or is this far too liberal for 1930?
