So, LCR knife seems to be more restricted. Correct me if I am wrong. This doesn't address batons and the legality of carry with a LTC and a gun is still debated.philip964 wrote:So I haven't paid much attention to bill 1935. Apparently it has passed. Now the press is picking it up and since some of my friends know I have a LTC, it seems they think I know all about it.
All I know about knives is that I use them in the kitchen, don't bring a knife to a gun fight, the 30 foot rule, and you cut away from yourself. That's from Cub Scouts right?
After September 1, anyone can carry a spear, sword, machete, or Bowie knife in public, with the exception of the places we currently can't LTC. Right?
Businesses will have to put up another sign, if they want to keep Conan the Barbarian types outside.
Does it have to be open carry, or can you conceal carry any knife?
When I was six, I always thought Zorro was a cool guy. But then there is that pesky, don't bring a knife gunfight thing. Katanas are still really cool, but in the Last Samurai, they all died as well.
Its easy to go to the range and practice. Hard to practice and get good with a knife or sword.
What about collapseable battons, are they legal yet?
And there was an overpowering need for this bill because? Freedom? Memory of Jim Bowie?
I agree the whole prohibited weapons laws need to be revamped. An expandable baton, should not become illegal until it is used to inflict harm. Neither should brass knuckles or any other inanimate object. A citizen, not committing a crime, should be free to walk around in public with anything, without suddenly becoming a criminal, just because similar objects have been used irresponsibly. Should they outlaw matches because arsonists have used them to burn things?
If we don't retake our freedoms, they will continue to be removed one item at a time.
