why are knuckledusters illegal, because they scary to some people. really their just collectibles like like an medieval style maces are illegal in some places, if you want a legal knukle duster get an iron srike and a flint and say its for primitive fire building

I had to do 2 hours on one occasion, I'd prefer not to repeat it. We only got off after someone collapsed.

The real problem on that day was that "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" didn't begin to describe the weather, and the uniforms weren't that thick.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

This brings up an interesting point though- at what point is an object considered a weapon rather than just some scrap?

Also, the cops around here don't randomly stop people to make sure they aren't carrying improvised weapons. Do you live in a federal penitentiary?

OMG, on that note, a person on my baseball team got his CLEAR airsoft gun taken away from him by the cops when he was shooting it in his OWN, fenced in back yard. Some neighbors of his said he was messing with a silver pistol when they called the cops on him. The cops took it away, and said that he couldn't have another airsoft gun until he was 18, even though they have no authority to do that. The same thing happened to another friend of mine when some squealer neighbor kid said he was shooting at him, when my friend really wasn't. It was some stupid kids running around the street shooting each other with airsoft guns. My friend was in his back yard on the trampoline. The police came to his house, later that day, at 1AM!!! And said that they needed to talk to Jonathan. (My friend) The freakin lying kid next door said that my friend shot him!!! So, my friend gets all his guns taken away, and the police say that he can't shoot one until he is 18. Jerks...

Extremely carefully.... With a sheath over the blade and the handle in your pants. lmao.

I'm amazed how far away from the topic this thread has gotten... but oh well, it's in the off topic section so I won't b!tch.

Peace,

If an object is designed for one use and is used offensively, it is considered a weapon. A pencil, a bat, whatever.

If an object is designed for use as a weapon, then that is what it is.
