GTA V: 10 Unfortunate Consequences Of Living In Los Santos
7. There's An Odd Tendency For Ammunation Ambushes
Usually, we live in a world where up is up and white is white. However, in GTA such petty concerns dont really apply. Instead, up is Smurf and white is potato, and there are universal laws which govern every Los Santonian (again, Ive no idea if thats correct, but screw it, Ive used it twice now its practically accepted fact) that dont really make sense. Chief among them is the indoor gun law if you as a regular citizen enter a gun shop, youre not allowed to draw a weapon. I know that seems like a particularly psychopathic concern, but when you live in a place where anyone is likely to pick up a golf club at any time and spread your teeth across the pavement, I think its a legitimate one. But still, rules are rules and you cant brandish a weapon in the one place where it shouldnt really matter. After all, if you did point your boomstick at the shopkeeper, hes got things behind that counter that can take down helicopters, never mind your puny frame. Plus, what with it being a gun, you might want the gunsmith to look at it, as is his custom. But no, this doesnt happen, and its not just a rule of etiquette like taking your shoes off there appears to be something in the water which physically stops any city-dweller from tooling up inside the Ammunations stark environs. This wouldnt be so bad if it werent for the fact that the people of Los Santos seem uniquely aware of their universal mental handicap, and will exploit the sh*t out of it for profit. So if you go travelling around this wonderful city, youll find entire gangs of armed brigands hiding in view of the shop doors, waiting to provide merry, bullet-laden greetings to those who stroll out the shop with their new ordnance. Frankly, its a city-wide epidemic, and the police should do something about it. You know, if they werent too handicapped by the lavish expense it must take to keep such a service going in a lawless hellhole. Still, bet the propertys cheap, so theres that at least. Plus, woe betide anyone trapped in a shop by a strategically-parked Jeep. Again, the citys laws demand you shoot yourself just to get out, because apparently God hates a crawler.
