Gun Restriction Levels

These are the rough levels of armament control for a given world. These values are not absolute across the world, but represent what you would expect to find landing in a typical inhabited location. These levels are also not tied to to the level of actual enforcement of the law. It is possible you may be in a large city that is too poor or corrupt to actually enforce their gun bans, or wandering a lawless wasteland and come across a small town that will do their best to drive you out if you try to enter wearing combat armor.

R-0 - Frontier/Lawless
There is little to no restriction to any personal weaponry or armor on this world, but the more heavily armed and armor you are, the more attention you are likely to draw of people who assume you're spoiling for a fight, or are interested in what you have on display. Heavy weaponry is permitted.

R-1 - Open Carry
You can carry a sidearm openly, and armor can be fairly overt. Rifles and advanced combat armor generally frowned upon. Heavy weaponry and powered armor forbidden.

R-2 - Concealed Carry
You can carry a pistol if you have a permit or lack a planetary or system-wide criminal record. You can wear most any street armor. Large melee weapons forbidden, medium melee weapons frowned upon.

R-3 - Strict Gun Laws
No guns or armor of any kind is allowed. Medium melee weapons forbidden.
