The whole concept is STUPID and it defies logic. If I have a black knife stashed in my sock that is the least of your worries if you are a law enforcement type.

A little itty bitty knife causing so much fuss is just silly... It's the psuedo danger they can focus on and pretend they are doing something good to defend society. A well trained human being with his (or her) two fists, their skull, knees, elbows, hip bones, knees, and feet is far more dangerous but impossible to outlaw.



The whole thing is just IRKSOME. It makes me batty. Makes me want to kick somebody in the *** to knock some sense in to them.

ah, but you're forgetting the point. the idea of the law is protect those who are not trained or armed. then the idea is that the responsibility of protection becomes that of the civil authorities. so then it follows that ordinary people don't have to arm themselves to protect themselves.

You and I know the flaws of this logic, but Canada, Britain and most of the US accept it as an ideal to pursue. (I know I'm going to get in trouble for this but once again, I'm not going any further because that thread never goes well. These are facts not my opinion.)

Do I follow this, ha. I come from a background with a very strong knife culture. I always have one. Last year there was an event that was going to be firmly policed and I would be wanded. I left my knife in the car. However, crossing the field to the event I found something suitable. I don't even know what it really is. It looks like a jagged caping knife but it is some kind of plastic compound. I felt better and took it as a sign from above that I was right.
