Firearms, by their nature in the United States (and Canada) are remarkably accessible.
That does not stop zombies from taking over most of the time, but there is always one guy who wants to be all "badass motherfucker" with a gun, and in the process makes the roleplay un-fun by forcing everyone else to lower themselves to his standards if they want a piece of the action.
I don´t have a problem with firearms. I expect them to come into play (preferably later than sooner). I do have a problem with people having no sense of pacing: if you make zombies a joke in page one of the roleplay by abusing the gun, that´s an RP that will die by page three, and a lot of wasted time.
I had planned to start my character out with guns, yes. Since he is coming from the Pentagon, and the fact that he can take guns off dead soldiers, he would have access to a lot. But over time, his ammo will run out and they have to find more. In the beginning of Walking Dead, Rick Grimes went to his Sheriff's Station and they had guns there. So, even he had firearms from the beginning. Well, not when he first got out of the hospital, but you know what I mean.
And yes, you're right Ice, after doing more research, I realize that the only times people under 40 are Colonels are in fiction or times of war. Though, I would like to point out, this RP is fiction, it's about zombies, lol. I would just lower his rank to Major, but I kind of get the idea that me having him with any kind of combat experience whatsoever would be frowned upon, based on the previous posts in this thread. I thought about maybe making him a cop then, but that would still give him some type of combat know-how.
So, I will recreate Julian Shepard as an artist who enjoys drawing and painting beautiful things to take his mind off the horrible world his reality has become. This also provides a little romantic twist for whoever his love interest is, as he can ask to sketch her because he enjoys drawing beautiful things .
I don't mind the gun thing. I think we should start the game from the beginning of the outbreak, or maybe slowly before when it is just starting. That way each character can react in their own way and end up with their own struggle before meeting up with the rest of the group. So some might have guns, some might not, some might be better at hiding, some might be better at killing the ones that get to close, some might know what is going on and some might not know the scope, ect.
