Photos from Japan

No license needed for these rifles or pistols.

The weapons law begins by stating "No-one shall possess a fire-arm or fire-arms or a sword or swords", and very few exceptions are allowed.[30] The only types of firearms which a Japanese citizen may acquire is a rifle or shotgun. Sportsmen are permitted to possess rifles or shotguns for hunting and for skeet and trap shooting, but only after submitting to a lengthy licensing procedure.[32] Without a licence, a Japanese citizen may not even hold a gun in his or her hands.

And yet an armory exhibits fully automatic rifles intended for military use (unless those are airsoft guns). What the hell?

This is a pain-medicine which some youths will take by the dozens to get a slight high.

Japanese Navy. They were circling around the area I was in for the better part of the day. P3 Orion methinks?

Walked about 8km from the station to this bridge thinking "No problem, I'll walk across"... oh fuck, it's ONLY for highway traffic. GOD DAMNIT!

Somebody still lives here...

This is one of those "Pay as you please" little shops. You stop in, choose something and leave the money there for the owner to come and pick up later. Fuck I love this place sometimes.

My bad. But what about the other photos. There must be a reason you quoted the entire post.

 

[RogerMoore]

Must there be a reason?

Such photos are probably only amusing to those that don't live here...

[aquamarine]

Thus the reason for them being posted.
A+ to you!

 

[RogerMoore]

Thanks! Sorry for stating the obvious! Anyway I know if I didn't live here I'd really appreciate the shots as a collection of the real Tokyo. ;-)

Screwing around in my Nissan Cedric. It's a boat, but at least it's relatively cheap on gas.
