Any person(s) found in possession of and/or attempting to solicite a "weapon" will be fined a minimum of 10,000HCR and imprisoned for not less than 6 months. Any person(s) found either importing or producing "offensive weapons" for either sale or for possible criminal activity will be fined a minimum of 10,000HCR and imprisoned for not less than 24 months.

No types of weapon, deemed offensive or not, may be taken outside of those areas where usage of aforementioned weapons is allowed (i.e. crossbows are allowed within sports clubs).
