On the same vein of department specific ID computers and weapons permits, there could be a weapon permit computer somewhere at security or at least in the HoS office.
You can choose what weapons/types of weapon you authorize someone to wield on their ID, or you can just press pre-made weapon categories (the same way you can give access to a bunch of different rooms at once by pressing a pre-made job on the ID computer).
That way the barman starts with a permit for his riot shotgun, the MD a permit for his gun, you can give permits during nuke-ops (which would enable for better use of security bots during those rounds). You can ask for special permits at security when you find an interesting artifact weapon, or just want a mean of self-defense, while letting security know about it.
But perhaps that's something that should be restricted to heads. I'm thinking it would make sense roleplay-wise that only the Captain or HoS could use such a computer, while also thinking it would restrict its use too much.
