What's the CR? Because what you describe doesn't sound like what I would call a 'free city' (which would be CR1).

If discovered with even a stun gun, electric stun wand or zap glove, we would go to prison if we failed to bribe the policeperson/corpsec/border guard who found them.

If you can make a good story to justify it, perhaps you can ask the GM for the License perk for the single benefit that is normally unavailable outside that Status?

For instance, you could have once bribed an official to issue a reward government-issued pistol for some fictional act of heroism, which normally comes with the permission to use and carry pistols. That's how such things are done in real life, anyway.
