I can assure you the Kusari government has strict laws in force to limit the amount of firepower foreigners or "Gaijin" are allowed to bring into Kusari. Also, firing on a Hogosha for no cause, or because they are acting suspiciously is against the law in Kusari. It is an attack on a Kusari citizen, and we in the Kusari government do not take that lightly. You are more than welcome to check with those who came before you who tried that tactic, and see how it worked out for them.
