I hear two, sort of conflicting, concepts when it comes to guns.

1. If your PC is carrying a gun (all guns must be conceal carry), you should have your armed status switched on.

2. Switch on your armed status through your Character Card only while actively wielding a gun in a scene.

Number 1 is the most common opinion 'on the street' I think, however
Number 2 is from the HUD itself (red button), and it uses the word -actively-.

Anyone with input?
