I've been toying with this idea for a long time now, I figured I would bring it to the public afrer some consideration.. 

What if while performing a jail break, you were presented with an opportunity to "confront the guards" while attempting to escape with your person you were freeing. 

outcomes could range from, +.05 to your gun, up to +1 (depending on how many guards you faced and how "fast" your escapee partner is. The higher the guards, the more difficult, etc etc. It would be a very low chance to encounter this no matter who you busted out. However, you could also be incarcerated without a chance of being busted, if you fail on these encounters?... gives it a risk and reward aspect.

Just a small thought,

That sounds like a really fun addition to jail breaking and a new way to train a gun. I like it!

I think it is already way too easy to train your gun to the point of negating peoples bodyguards. This would only make sense if there were alternative ways to make your character more resilient. Currently as it stands people with maxed out BG's and defense skill (hustle points) can still be killed by a character only a few months old..

All this would do is shorten the average lifespan of characters...

I’ve got to agree with ghost here, gun stat is already incredibly easy to build these days without this addition and personally don’t want to see the BG cap increased.
