Defense against thieving and point-blank bursters in guarded towns.

Well, yeah, I agree, it's the wasteland, and it's harsh, and bla bla bla.
The point everyone's trying to make is if, say, you're playing fallout, and you kill someone at NCR and now you're wanted there and everyone wants to kill you, you don't just die and run back and then everything's honkey dorey again.
If you burst kill someone at NCR, the consequences shouldn't be "death, respawn, run back to town like nothing happened."
Your actions should last well after death.
Edit:
I'd also like to add that if you're going for the realism over fun aspect and saying, "The wastes are harsh, get over it." I seriously doubt if we were actually living in the wastes, there would be naked people running in to towns using a sub-machine gun on the first guy they see. And I'm sure there wouldn't be near as many (if any) suicide bombers.
There's this thing people in real life have that they don't have in the game that stops people from doing stuff like that, and it's called self-preservation.
In a real life wasteland scenario, yes, it'll be rough- There will be raiders and gangs and what have you, but the actiongs in question in this thread just wouldn't happen in the wastes.

I mean, bursting people in NCR is fun, suicide bombing as well. You should never feel safe anywhere. You care about being bursted in NCR as if it was such a big deal. Don't bring stuff there so you won't lose anything. Besides, if you enter with combat armor while being 1 lvl you deserve to die.
Theta:
This is of course implying the character in question has a tent. You can't just run out in to the wasteland and start slaying brahmin- You've got to do some work in town before you can go out and get yourself a tent- Which means you have no where to put your stuff, and since Brahmin are so rare around NCR now, in order to get a tent, level 1 noob players all by themselves have to travel all the way to Modoc with a 10mm pistol in the hopes of getting a place to keep their stuff.
Also I don't know what this is about a level 1 with combat armor I've never seen that.

Im gonna try and appeal to your common sense. I already pointed out, THERE IS FUN, there are laughs on killing people randomly out of the blue, however the point is, this laughs are more like GIGGLES, like a whim, something made out of boredom and the urge to kill stuff just because you can. Now that HAS CONSEQUENCES, wether you like it or not. We have come to adapt ourselves to this kind of behavior, since being a douche and an asshole REPETEADLY has proven to be rewarded, thus we dont bring important stuff to towns out of sheer fear.
You cant be too narrowminded to not see the consequences on bursting people, how disproportionate the fun ends up being. But sure, if you just dont care and like being a childish prick, then go ahead and jump in the wagon the developeres made of this game

I really don't care either way, and I'll tell you why. I know I'm fairly new to the forum, I don't post much, and I'm not really known in-game.
HOWEVER, what a few of you are forgetting is that we are not NPC's. If you implement new rules, people will just find a way around them. So you implement more rules, which are quickly circumvented as well. So, now we need more rules...
...it just doesn't work. Rules do not change human behavior. Not only will we go the easiest route possible, we will also go to great lengths if we feel like we are outsmarting another person. Your problems would not be stopped, or significantly curbed in any way.
We would just have new rules to deal with.
As I feel that any of the changes implemented in this thread will likely have little appreciable effect on game play, I for one don't care what they decide to do about it, if anything.
