Powerbase Tshwane and Concealed Weapon

Combat Situation
Player 1: Before range is determined he plays Concealed Weapon + 44 Magnum.
Can he tap Powerbase Tshwane to reduce the cost from the 44 Magnum equiped with Concealed Weapon?

Concealed Weapon
Only usable before range is determined. Equip with a non-unique weapon card from your hand (requirements and cost apply as normal). The weapon cannot cost 3 or more pool or inflict with a regular strike aggravated damage or 4 or more damage.

Powerbase: Tshwane
Unique location. Requires a ready Laibon. Lock to reduce the cost of a card you play by 1 pool (this location is not locked if that card is canceled as it is played). Any Laibon can steal this location as a action.

Don't see why not.

Yes. Cost-effecting cards work regardless of the method that is used to play the card.

Thank you all.

A wee bit of a follow up question:

If I would reduce the cost of a 3 pool weapon to 2 with Tshwane, would I be able to equip it with Concealed Weapon?

The Line ruling was that I could attempt a 2 blood action at 1 blood if I reduce the cost 'as announced' with Line.

Name: The Line
[Anthology:1]
Cardtype: Master
Unique location.
Lock to reduce the cost of an action card played by a vampire you control by 1 blood (this location is not locked if that card is canceled as it is played). Any vampire can steal this location as a action.
