If people are allowed to carry firearms

K'tan Dantaktee · January 12, 2015, 08:58:39 PM

Then why can't we carry knives exceeding the legal limit, machetes (Lolchetes,) swords, bows/crossbows, maces, etc.?

IMO, I'd rather carry my tomahawk than my pistol. Just sayin. Technically it'd be less hazardous too; you never hear about katanas randomly going off in their holster. They're not ranged either, so criminals/terrorists would have to actually be able to get close to you to use their weapons on you.

Just kind of racist in my opinion.

I want to shank people who try to rob me with my sword and yell "FOR NARNIA!!!!"

Because splitting a man's head in two is much more traumatizing and messy for everyone involved than shooting him.

That would be better, rather than being so paranoid that you think you need it.

But I mean hey, if you want to look like ultra geek walking around with a sword/mace...good luck not having people think you're mental.

Who wants to mess with the guy carrying a sword/mace? Checkmate.

Feels good to live in a state that allows you to open and concealed carry any type of single edged fixed blade, or double edged weapons of sword length.
Just can't have daggers or switchblades, because those are evil, or something...

In PA we have no size laws and if we do it's in certain areas. When it comes to knives daggers, switch blades, gravity knives, basaltic and any other type of automatic opening system(Or would it be called assisted?) are illegal.

Whoa man, I thought gravity opening was okay, as well as assisted opening, just as long as there's no direct opening mechanism that operates as a switchblade.

Normal people shouldn't actually want to see that.

Never said I wanted to see it.

I've also tested them out on animal carcasses; mostly fresh. A lot more graphic than a blade.

Where I live, the "geeks" are hardcore outdoorsmen who could probably take everybody on this site in a fight. Sure, there are a few people in my town who are just plain old nerds. But not many.
