At some point you could apply to the border control as a weapon import specialist and help others navigate the process. You likely know it best.I’ve prepared the documentation for the one that’s currently on order. Let’s see if it’s as smooth as this delivery or if I have to deal with you-know-who again. I’m prepared

You’re very kind
It’s both cute and scary at the same time; like a baby blue ring octopus.

In my preparations, I looked into the profession of a BF officer ( ‘know you’re enemy’). I’d been told they were paid well (so they’re not tempted to steal seized goods) and required a good education for the role. It turns out neither are true; their pay is poor and they only require a basic education to be permitted to apply to the job. I try and be generous thinking they’re in a complex, ever-changing career because of knee-jerk updates to the legislation by the government but it isn’t true. They are just poor at following their own rules and regulations or more likely, they don’t really understand them. I could spend an hour writing out their rules in simple to apply points, put the single sheet of paper in a nice stainless steel file (because they’re cool) and hand it to them as a quick, fair and easy reference for when confronted by a bladed object <sigh>
