Gangs: Much of the ecological role of gangs has been taken over by the clans here, but youths with no family (or no inclination to follow their family’s rules) do form more traditional gangs. The can rarely contest with the clans for turf, but will engage in hit and run operations to get what they want, or take control of territory that the clans don’t particularly want. Gangs will generally carry melee weapons, ranging from flick-knives to katanas, depending on how well the neighborhood is policed. | Gangs: Much of the ecological role of gangs has been taken over by the clans here, but youths with no family (or no inclination to follow their family’s rules) do form more traditional gangs.

Weapons: It is illegal to bring weapons into these neighborhoods and generally very difficult to do, although a low-tech melee weapon can usually be bribed in for $10 or so. Citizens are forbidden to carry weapons in the street. Residents are, however, permitted to keep low-tech melee weapons in their homes for home defense. In practice, this means that most adults hide a small melee weapon, such as a knife, on their persons when they go out in public, and keep larger melee weapons, such as clubs, axes and machetes, in their home. When a community is going to a battle, they are liable to take their large weapons with them in defiance of the law. The police tolerate such attacks up to a point, as long as damage to public property is kept to a minimum. | Weapons: It is illegal to bring weapons into these neighborhoods and generally very difficult to do, although a low-tech melee weapon can usually be bribed in for $10 or so.
