The objects are not the problem.
Rebar, scissors, pencils/pens, even the wooden handle from something can be sharpened and made pointy.

Umbrellas and armor-lined bowlers will be the next items to be banned after knives, should he catch "The Avengers" on TV.

Is a Mag Light type of light legal? It's quite a club in the right hand (no pun intended).
I have up to the 4 D cell Mag light, that's quite a club if needed.This message has been edited. Last edited by: OKCGene,

For the love of god, don’t let that guy watch John Wick, or you won’t even be allowed to carry a pencil...a fucking pencil!

We're going to Scandinavia this summer. I was checking out the Danish Museum and their gift shop. Aha, Viking swords, nice, read, read, WHAT, I have to have a license?! Yes, in Denmark, you need a license to carry a knife over 12 cm in length. (4.7") I'm trying to remember the last time I didn't have a knife with me.

Well, I hate to state the obvious, but this shows that gun control works. Once they banned guns, and made guns hard to get, the violent crime stopped.

I'm pretty lazy, no lie.
But when Tac lets the red star cluster go I'm all in. It will probably take me a few days to steal a boat from Boston harbor, but I should be up there in a day or two. Clearing the Harbormaster is easy, pushing out past the bay will take some seamanship.

BamaJeepster, I believe that in France the rounded knife is already in use. Perhaps Balze or JALLEN can inform us.
