Default Re: The rights and consequences to bear arms in RPGs

One thing often overlooked is in most times, weapons and armor are EXPENSIVE. The line from the Russell Crowe Robin Hood about "arriving home wealthy men" when they ambushed the French ambush of the party carrying the crown home highlights this. A knight's suit of armor + sword = a lot of wealth for a commoner. One of the reasons it took a lot of peasants to support one knight. Even in our modern era of mass production, a well build weapon still costs a fair amount and is a common target for home burglaries. More so if you are known to be a weapon collector.

In most settings, someone openly displaying a nice set of armor and/or weapons should expect at least some consideration from the local thieves guild as a target.
