Madurjafro	60. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. May 1 2012, 12:57 PM EDT "How come you're on the fence with concealing weapons?" I actually don't know why I said that. I'll think hard to find out why though :D. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
otterswellsea	61. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. May 1 2012, 1:59 PM EDT \| Post edited: May 1 2012, 1:59 PM EDT Will you regulate who can consume alcohol? Not by age, almost everyone will have a job to do, if you are impaired you get that much closer to losing your job. Other penalties pending job description. Will you regulate who can produce alcohol? Yes, but for standards sake, the last thing I need is a batch of bad moonshine taking sight away from my sentries. Will you regulate who can consume the marijuana and magic mushrooms? No, similar to how alcohol will be regulated by consumption. Will you regulate who can produce the marijuana and magic mushrooms? Given how hemp makes for a good material in of itself no, however shrooms are more or less a wild card, production would be regulated to prevent illness and death. Will you regulate who can use opium? Can't say I could, however same rules apply as to other users. Will you regulate who can produce opium? Depends on our neighbors situation. I won't sacrifice influencing trade, information and defense due to a few folks wanting a fancy crop. Will you regulate access to firearms and weapons? In a way, as in I'd try to standardize cartridge, and ideally magazines as well for boarder security and patrols. Ideally folks would carry something at all times.

wantmarmite	62. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. May 30 2012, 4:49 PM EDT I don't know that I would want to regulate anything until we actually have reason to believe that it's creating problems within the community. Will you regulate who can consume alcohol? Under 16, I think that should be left to the discretion of parents/guardians. That said, there is the possibility of outliers who could survive this far on their own. It seems surreal to tell a 14yo who's survived a zombie apocalypse on their own thus far, that they aren't old enough for a beer. Aside from that, I would expect people to be sober when working. Will you regulate who can produce alcohol? I don't know anything about producing alcohol. I'd keep my thoughts to myself. Will you regulate who can consume the marijuana and magic mushrooms? No. I wouldn't. Will you regulate who can produce the marijuana and magic mushrooms? No. Will you regulate who can use opium? At this stage of society, I'd leave it alone unless someone shows signs of addiction. Will you regulate who can produce opium? No, but I'd want some proof from the person who made it that they know what they're doing before I touched it. Will you regulate access to firearms and weapons? Weapons hording could create a situation where too few have the power and the community is no longer able to defend itself from the outside. There would need to be some ground rules.

Youngslayer	63. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. May 31 2012, 4:30 PM EDT "The world has been almost completely infected and all established governments have collapsed. The power vacuum has led to you creating your own society. Over the course of several months you clear out a small town, build up barricades and eventually have a small population of 150 survivors. As your town grew residents have started manufacturing their own alcoholic beverages. Others have started growing a range of drugs from marijuana to "magic" mushrooms. A few residents have started working to grow a poppy field outside of the town to produce opium. Over time massive amounts of firearms, ammunition and even some specialised melee weaponry like swords and axes have been stockpiled. Unfortunately due to a poor bureaucracy you have been unable to keep track of them and much of the weaponry is no longer in the communal storage. So, your tasks are as follows: Will you regulate who can consume alcohol? Will you regulate who can produce alcohol? Will you regulate who can consume the marijuana and magic mushrooms? Will you regulate who can produce the marijuana and magic mushrooms? Will you regulate who can use opium? Will you regulate who can produce opium? Will you regulate access to firearms and weapons? In answering these questions feel free to include details such as minimum ages for using various products. Enjoy, Marsden" Seriously doubt a thirteen year old would be put in charge but if it were up to me ... Will you regulate who can consume alcohol? Yes. Below 18, only for medical reasons 18-30 Only under supervison 30-60 Freely at private functions and specific buildings 60+ Medical and practical only Will you regulate who can produce alcohol? If you want to produce alcohol, you have to apprentice to another alcohol maker until you can make clean alchohol Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Youngslayer	64. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. May 31 2012, 4:41 PM EDT Will you regulate who can consume the marijuana and magic mushrooms? Yes.

If caught producing anything besides medical unauthorized, severe punishment from extra work to ejection risked Will you regulate who can use opium? Yes. Medical only. Will you regulate who can produce opium? Yes. Medics and nurses only, risk extra work to ejection if caught otherwise Firearms and weapons? Concealed carry and open carry if approved by examinations for firearms, for melee weapons open carry in most places Post reply Do you find this valuable?

fixdeluxe1	67. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Dec 25 2012, 4:39 AM EST Will you regulate who can consume alcohol? Absolutely not,consumption of alcohol is considered an individual choice. However, active duty militia members found to be in an intoxicated state will face SEVERE disciplinary action from their commanding officer. Will you regulate who can produce alcohol? No,there are more important issues to deal with. Will you regulate who can consume the marijuana and magic mushrooms? No,although the same regulations as per alcohol apply to active duty militia members. Will you regulate who can produce the marijuana and magic mushrooms? No. Will you regulate who can use opium? No,same regulations as above apply to active duty militia members. Will you regulate who can produce opium? No. Will you regulate access to firearms and weapons? Every capable resident of the community will be issued with an appropriate weapon for self-defense if they do not already have one equipped. There will also be a general store and armory where weapons,ammunition and parts can be sold/traded/repaired/upgraded. All active-duty militia members and officers are required to keep on their person their personal combat load. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
C-Man121	68. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Dec 26 2012, 6:38 AM EST Alcohol and drugs should be allowed, just don't get so wasted that you can't shoot straight. There should be a few independent supervisors of production to make sure no dodgy ** gets added and it's all safe. If you want to carry a gun you can. Under 18s have to let their parents decide. The whole community can vote to let an under 18 carry a gun (for example if they're deemed responsible but their parents are being silly). If you ** around with your gun or do something stupid with it, it gets confiscated for a week. Repeat offences and the community will think of some punishment for you.

UnBalanced	69. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Feb 4 2013, 7:03 PM EST \| Post edited: Feb 4 2013, 7:03 PM EST Different situations would naturally call for different solutions. What’s our security level? Are we 150 ppl still struggling against constant hordes, or are we in a remote countryside setting, relatively safe, and with time to concern ourselves with social governance. Same goes for cultural surroundings. I would respond somewhat differently if we were in say, central Europe, than I would for Bible belt U.S.A. So Each of us has to fill in that info with a caveat that we are local. About the drugs? Right now, who cares. I don’t know a lot of meth heads, opium heads, or shroom heads. I know a few functioning alcoholics, and some potheads. The risk of a huge opium den are minor. However, No one would have a problem with the idea that you don’t’ show up for civic duty while buzzed. With only 150 ppl that would easily be a consensus just through social pressure alone. The other rule is the basic American, “don’t ** up my , and I won’t ** up yours.” If you are disruptive to others while intoxicated, you receive no special treatment vs. if you weren’t. You’re responsible for yourself. That’ll do for all the drugs at the moment. The guns are another matter. Every citizen should be able to keep what they came in with. If they have a stockpile and end up donating to others to keep the defense strong (which they will), good for them. If we get to a point where there is an actual stockpile of communal weapons, then yes it should be locked down. The weapons will be dolled out to those on duty for the community. At only 150 ppl population, vs a zombie apocalypse, humans tend to stick together pretty well, based on social norms they are used too. Give humans some credit on this point. Neither of these questions is a serious problem at present. At this level concentrate on security, food, water, and weather supplies. As your population grows, address these issues if any are creating a significant distress to your growing community. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Ssgtcal	70. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Mar 18 2013, 5:30 PM EDT \| Post edited: Mar 19 2013, 5:58 AM EDT No reason to confiscate guns or regulate them. You really want to try the " we need your gun for the greater good' to a group of survivors. Second, I'm not a dictator. Any rules on drinking, weed, is your personal business. Only public intoxication or a danger to society should be illegal but in a society this small just leave it to direct democracy. And if I'm in a small colony with 150 people and you try confiscating anyone's gun and they aren't doing something stupid or dangerous or you try being a dictator... You just might have a revolution on your hands... This isn't a utopia or a private kingdom... Let the people decide.. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Yes: No one. Yes: Only for trading with other compounds. Yes: No one. Yes: Only for trading with other compounds. Yes: Only those with a clean history can carry a sidearm and a rifle.

RainofMails	72. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Mar 18 2013, 6:53 PM EDT Three strikes policy. You can put whatever you want in your own body. If it interferes with your work once, you lose substance use rights for a month. If I catch you using again in that month, you lose rights permanently. If you use again after that, you get exiled. You are responsible for your own actions. If you make a bad decisions because you were drunk or high, you have to live with the consequences. If you can be armed responsibly you can be armed with whatever you want, whenever you want, where-ever you want, and it can be open carry, concealed, or both as you wish. If you can't be armed responsibly we will probably find out when you do or try to do something that carries the death penalty. In the rare case where you're just too stupid to be allowed to carry a firearm even after being trained in gun safety, I will give you a choice between not carrying, or hitting the road.

DevilNuts	73. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Mar 18 2013, 7:06 PM EDT All weapons should remain unloaded when in public, or when traveling through residential areas, unless there is an immediate threat present. This is to reduce the threat of negligent discharges. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Americnnwoman	74. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Mar 18 2013, 8:15 PM EDT Babysitting survivors? They must have some sense of self-preservation to make it survive the first weeks/months of the apocalypse. Nah, I'd leave 'em to it. Just make sure they know that if they screw up and we suffer for it, they aren't going to like the consequences. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
Will77	75. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Mar 18 2013, 9:40 PM EDT I agree. I don't have time to babysit adults in the apoc. There will be a very short learning curve allowed. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
Scott_Philips	76. RE: Scenario-Regulation of Weapons, Drugs and Other Prohibited Substances. Mar 26 2013, 7:56 AM EDT \| Post edited: Mar 26 2013, 2:04 PM EDT I would strongly encourage every-one to carry at least one primary weapon per group, keeping age and weapon diciplin in mind. Who-ever is to young or eresposible to carry a weapon should be escorted or accompanied by some-one who can safely carry a weapon. Any soft-drug should be used only in responsible amount and only when off-dutie. Hard drugs shouldn't be alwed for anything but medicinal uses. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
