This is what I use because it kinda gets irritating when they all show up with Pistols and shoot people you chase after lol. As far as I know this removes weapons from AI cops and civilians so when out and about in gang areas such as grove they are either unarmed or equipped with a knife. LSPDFR with callouts as far as I am aware still allows people on traffic stops to jump out and shoot you with an Uzi but have not quite found a way to remove it.
I would suggest aswell if you are using Ultimate Backup by Bejoljo you can go in the files and manually remove the firearms from the cars. The same with LSPDFR in the data folder called Inventory. Hope this helps 🙂
