Gundarakites may recieve the right to use larger weapons as tools, via the Garda.
For instance, my Gundarakite (now an NPC) uses a greataxe (large lumber axe). Don't expect to get the right to use a sword or traditional weapon, unless the new Countess changes the laws of the burgomeisters/boyars. Axes, hammers, and the like are well within the possibility of earning a permit.
However, if you have a permit and commit crime, you'll be treated much more harshly. You betrayed the government's trust.
