Do you carry a knife?

Sean Freeman · 25th January 2008, 11:51 PM

"Hoodys" are the cool street kids that wear hooded tracksuit type gear (at least I think thats right??? haven't lived there since 88' no such thing then just skinheads and hippies!)

I'm in NZ and I carry a knife, its an important tool, When I was out muscled once, I pulled it out as a defence option, and asked the guy to back down, he did, and I put the knife away and walked off unharmed.
However the police were informed of the incident and pressed charges on me, I stood up for my actions and discovered this.... If you think your body is in danger of being damaged, you are allowed to take what ever measure you deam neccasary to protect your body. and that is the bottom line. I got off my charge. They gave me my knife back, and I told them straight, I will continue to carry it, and if they think it is so wrong they can ban big companies from selling swiss army knifes as fathers day presents on TV.

Wow, here in the U.S. they're trying to outlaw 5 and unders from bringing knives to Kindergarten class. It's voluntary, though, at the moment. LOL

Hoodies are what 90% of teenage population in the u.k wear to conceal themselfs. And with such a high rate of knife crime and its mainly them!

Wow, DBS if that kid had a chainsaw in his jeans he would have been complete. We talk about PPE in the treecare game, I can't imagine what a kid at school would need for protection against the arsenal that that one was carrying around.

I'm glad i live where I can see ?m coming for 10 miles.

You'd think someone would notice if a pump action was down a lads trousers.
He'd be dead anyway, too much thinking about which smoke wagon to pull out first.

Therrin · 30th January 2008, 03:27 AM

Unless he was in a high school setting with lots of people unfamiliar with firearms. In such a setting, a kid with that much gear down his trousers, and the ability to get on-campus could do some real damage. Fire till your mag is empty, reach down and grab some more, keep goin and goin...

They've got a really good argument for having shirts tucked in. I carred a S&W .38 snub nose for a couple years in my pocket. Ya couldn't have even noticed it was there. That and had one of those little .25 auto's... cept that they go like this "BANG JAM JAM JAM BANG JAM BANG JAM JAM JAM JAM BANG".... utterly worthless!

I keep seeing this thread coming up with "new posts" and keep not seeing anything new in it. Lets get it back on track!

Realized today while I was climbing that I had my knife on, but it was in pants pocket, underneath my saddle...doh!!

I like Q's stuff for a climbing knife. Wickedly serrated. Probably wouldn't need the straight blade for anything, and the serrated ones shear through just about anything that's fabric, and quickly! Might pick up a Spyderco for my official harness knife.
