I should really get out a larger spoon... Yes, I thought to stir the pot. But I'm just pointing out the wording of laws that are already in the book. And, how the existing laws can, and are, applied in rather silly manners. (Call the cops! The kid brought a pallette KNIFE to art class.
There is nothing in the legal code that says a knife has to be sharp, just be a knife of a sufficient size to qualify as a deadly weapon.
Consider how draconian the laws can be interpreted. In many places such laws have been on the books since the 19th century.
Ok, since we are going down 'silly lane' lets just take it to the logical conclusion.
What created the knife? The gun? The atomonic bomb? VX gas? and the right wing tea party?
The Human brain. That which controls all but requires all to survive. So we just remove that which creates aggression in the brain and the problem is solved, right?
Back in reality....
Your stirring the pot without a useful argument. If I'm holding a stick, two feet long and quarter of an inch round, made of basal wood....that's a deadly weapon. This is according to your 'interpretation' of reality and law. But the guy that is a black belt in three martial arts, is not that deadly with his hands, right?
Got a legal definition of the concept known as 'knife'? Here are two dictionary definitions to the word 'knife':
Dictionary.com
1. an instrument for cutting, consisting essentially of a thin, sharp-edged, metal blade fitted with a handle.
2. a knife like weapon; dagger or short sword.
3. any blade for cutting, as in a tool or machine.
The Free Dictionary
1. A cutting instrument consisting of a sharp blade attached to a handle.
2. A cutting edge; a blade.
Gosh, both those sets of defintions have this word 'cutting' in there. Do I...really....have to give the definition to the word 'cutting'? Or has your intelligence and education been insulted enough with the word 'knife'? Since a synonym of 'cutting' is 'sharp' and 'piercing'. While an antonym of 'cutting' is 'blunt' and 'dull'.
Yeah, I could 'cut' through a piece of thick leather with a butter knife in a few hours; or just use a sharp knife and be through it in a few seconds.
guess you never heard of being cut with a dull knife either?
PS. so many here have gotten off track of a KEY COMPONENT of the OP CONCEALED
so many of the things people here have mentioned are not and cannot be CONCEALED, as in you WHOLE SELF regarding your KUNG FU comment
you say butter knives wouldn't count, well myself and a friend of mine used to be quite into throwing knives, we'd practice (for fun) throwing butter knives, forks and yes spoons too. I promise you I can easily stick a butter knife in solid wood, usually a fork, and occasionally a spoon
