Detained for carrying a knife in public.

Post by Jumoschwanz »

I was walking down a street in a nearby neighborhood recently. I had a knife in my hand for filleting fish that I had bought at a yard sale. I glanced down a side street and saw some bitch sitting in an SUV facing the street I was walking on. Apparently she called the cops because a block later four squad cars converged on me at an intersection. One of the cops yelled at me and asked if I had a knife. I pulled it out and held it up and said that I did and he told me to drop it. Then they proceeded to have me lock my fingers on top of my head and frisk me etc.

During all this I asked them if it was illegal to carry a knife and they said that it was not illegal to carry one in my state either openly or concealed. So I said " So when someone calls you saying they see someone carrying a knife why don't you tell them that it is legal to do so and educate the public about it?" The fuckers didn't respond at all to that statement.

I had nothing to hide, I told them who I was and where I lived and that I was just out for a walk. They asked me why I was carrying a knife and I said if it is not illegal then that is my business huh?" The knife still had a $1.50 price tag on it that it had from the yard sale, but they did not even ask about it!.

Then it got weird. They had checked my I.D. out over the radio, I had heard one of the cops say that. But they just kept me standing there, and kept standing around looking at each other until I asked for my knife back and said "I guess I can go home now?". It seemed as if they were trying to think of a way to prolong the event. One of them reluctantly handed my knife back to me and I went on my way.

I felt as if the whole thing was bullshit. I am looking up laws and ordinances that pertain to the event so if it happens again I will be able to dish a bit more abuse out.

So what a bullshit world, where some cunt with a cell-phone can cry to the cops about something that is totally legal, and have all those resources directed somewhere for no reason at all. I wish she was there for me to say a few choice words to when they were frisking me.

It is actually legal for me to walk down the street with a rifle or pistol or sword in my hand as long as it is not concealed, just like in the old west, but it looks like our citizens are trying to have this right taken away. Even though it is legal to carry firearms and knives, if enough people cry and whine about it like this bitch with the cell phone, then that is the first step towards the introduction of bills, laws etc. that will attempt to take that right away.

It is ok if the cops each had twenty pounds of pistols, tasers, knives and mace on their belts and in their pockets though, but citizens are not?

I guess I am supposed to go for walks in my underwear, but then though that is legal, I would be detained for that also I suppose.......

Jumo, you should carry a "brick"....that way, if you are confronted or surrounded....you can beat yourself silly and they'll probably leave you alone....cuz, you are either a mental case or a retard.

I carry an un loaded revolver from time to time just because it's legal.
Same situation, it is not concealed.
I walked into the local bank to make a deposit one day when I realised
my Uberti Colt SAA replica .44-40 was hanging on my left side in gleaming blue
in a western style holster.
Dang I got some looks, but no cops.

In some US states it is very legal to carry a non concealed firearm.
Here in NH you can but it must be un loaded. I have a permit to carry
a concealed loaded weapon but I rarely do.

NH has become a state where the opressed people of Mass and NY can come
and be free for a few weeks every year. They can carry and or own firearms
with no silly permits. Nancy and Barack would be appaled.
We are a free people in a burgeoning socialist system!

What fucking good is it to have an UN-loaded pistol on your hip?

Law is the law I guess, but since all the bad guys know the rules, really about all you have is a piss poor club if somebody wants to start shit.
