If that had happened in the U.K. the officer would have shown a totally differant attitude. It would have been "Do you know it's an offence to carry a weapon Sir ?" Following my frequent visits to the USA I know that our police could learn a lot about attitude towards the general public from your guys.
One of the reasons that I don't wear a Sgian Dubh in public, even a safety one. Not that any of mine have an edge, a ball point pen is sharper than any of them. I just don't want the hassle of having to explain.
Mind you, come the charity ball in November I'll be wearing it.
