The military stockades have all the weapons here. Firearms are illegal in Vietnam for citizens. Even the 4-in folding buck knife I carry in my pocket everyday I'm told that is illegal. But I still carry it.:lol:

So if they are caught with a firearm it's a serious offense or can they buy their way off?? Just trying to get a sense of how it goes there.
