However, given that a white mage would generally have no reasonable sharpshooting skills makes it sensible to incur a penalty or require a special skill (They practice magic, not shooting people, after all.) And a gun isn't really going to help a white mage do their job much anyway.

Doesn't mean you should take the option away. Remember, some people are playing because they want to have fun. If playing a shooty-priest is how they wanna do it then that's entirely up to them.

lol i find this funny because if you look at FF jobs fusilier, flintlock & cannoneer from the FF tactics series they had a magic gunner types which magic infused bullets that would do cure+regen (sounds familiar?) or status effects like protect's +def or stoneskin. even in sleep and confusion, these job was among my favorite jobs with in any of the FF series. it is like how i wish FF 11 red mage was a range melee like guns.
