Well first off (in game) lol. Let's say you are doing a salt run and someone says out of a bush *put your fucking hands up now or you will be shot* you can comply or try to go for cover draw your legal gun and try to kill him. you could shoot someone if they tried to steal your car after a good initiation. There are so many ways it really depends on the reason and the roleplay but legal ways to KILL someone is not as many as Ilegal haha have fun and always remember not to RDM.

well, not really. like i said it all depends on the situation and roleplay. These days police won't arrest you unless they see you do it or someone calls them and even then they are probs in a gunfight somewhere. Just read the rules and if you only use your gun for self-defense you should be fine.

As an officer of academy I will say this:
Yes you can use any type of legal gun as self defence, as long as you have a firearms licence, else you can be arrested for the firearms act of 1968
If you kill someone in self defence, head to a sergeant or higher, who will listen to your story, and pardon you. If you do not do this, and an officer arrest you, you can be taken to jail for murder by the offences against a persons act of 1861 for murder, or have a fine of 50.000 pound for manslaughter
If somebody initiated on you with like put your hands up or I will open fire then you first need to give RP back so for example pls dont shoot me I have children home what do you want etc. Then he is gonna repeat it again and then you can choose whatever you want to do 1. Go cover and fight 2. Surrender 3. Shoot imidiately but make sure you always give high quality RP back.

Dear Vincenzo1311
Just keep in mind, if an officer stops you and asks you about the murder on your record (it will add automatically when you kill someone). You will need to explain in detail it was self defence. If you say you just walked up to someone and shot him, we, the officers, will believe what you say, since we were not there on the scene.
From personal experience, if I detain someone for murder, and he gives me a good explenation about the murder, I will let him go off with like a 50 pound ticket to clean the PNC. But if he just says self defence and a questionable or short explenation, I will go up to 5,000 pounds. And if he says it was just straight up murder, I will give him a 50,000 pounds ticket for at least not lying. Keep in mind that there is a difference between murder and manslaughter. Only murder shows up on the PNC since it will be you ingame that shoots someone, the AI can't really determine if it was manslaughter or murder. You will have to explain this clearly to the police officer who detained you. The punishments for both are also different, according to the offences against a persons act of 1861:
Murder:
Prison
Manslaughter:
£50,000
However, keep in mind that these are the maximum punishments we can hand out, because it says prison, it doesn't mean you are going to prison. If I see someone shooting another person when I'm patrolling, I will investigate and if he clearly lies, he is going to prison. But that is my vision, not everyone has my vision, so again, you will have to be lucky by who is arresting you.
The right way how to use a firearm is, always keep it holstered, unless you are in danger. While having a weapon, you need to keep in mind that on arma, you do not have a safety. Keep in mind that there are some safety guidelines of a weapon you can use ingame as well:
1 - All guns are loaded until proven unloaded
2 - Never point your muzzle to something you do not want to shoot
3 - Keep your finger off the trigger (mouse here) until your sights are on your target
4 - Be sure of your target and what is beyond it
If you keep these 4 in the back of your head, it will be less likely a police officer will take away your legal firearm. If I see a civilian pointing his weapon at someone else, I take it off him, no doubts.
If you are getting robbed and the police are on scene, notify the police, but keep that gun where it belongs, in your pocket, or your holster. If you get it out, you are a danger to the officers, civilians and it's surroundings. If you're being detained, it is always better to notify the police you have a legal firearm in your pocket.
If you have further questions about the laws and how to use a weapon, feel free to contact me.
