I was rather expecting a plain brown cardboard shipping box since, while owning these things isn’t a problem, wondering about with them in public is somewhat highly illegal.

So yeah, good thing I taped the box up a bit more and concealed most of the writing and pictures as I managed to casually walk passed them without problem
