       Sorry for the spam, I'll make this quick.

Would anyone know about gun laws in Japan? Also, would anyone have an idea
of how many criminals (organized or otherwise) carry firearms?

       If anyone knows, or knows of a good resource in the internet, please
reply privately.

Thanks!

Jed

	I've found several resources, Jed, and will be forwarding them to
you via private email. 

	THIS email is to let everyone know that their ARE detailed listings
of Japanese gun laws (and sword laws, and everything considered a weapon)
available thru the net, and if anyone else is interested, or needs them
as a reference, email me, and I'll forward the URLs to you as well as Jed.

	This has been a public service announcement.
