Ok here's the problem! I'm running this campaign and one of my players wants to make a multiclass fighter-gunslinger. So far so good. But then he tells me he wants to play holding a gun on one hand and a tower shield on the other. I can see shooting a gun while holding a shield, but wouldn't reloading the gun be a problem? I mean, dont you need two hands to reload the thing? And its not like he wants to use a buckler! The tower shield is a behemoth of a shield and it seems difficult to me, to be able to use your hand for anything else besides holding it in place!! He tells me that its a rational thing to do ( you know,i'll grab the gun with my fingertips and i will load it with the other hand) but I honestly thing its not that easy. . Of course I've been wrong before so if anybody can enlighten me I would be grateful.
Yeah thats what i thought!! But really, some times I think that having to fight with your players, time and time again, over such matters is the curse the GMs have to bear. Or it might be happening only to me, I dont know! Anyway, thank you very much for the quick answer!!!

Also, why do you think that you don't get tower shield proficiencies with any class? They are too big and heavy to manage normally without special training. Maybe give a feat (with prereqs) to reloading easier with the gun/tower combo. All crossbows require two hands to load, so i would suggest reloading the gun with a tower shield one or two steps harder than normal to reload. If it's a move action, then standard; standard, then a full round.
