I'm sorry this is happening to you guys.Has all of this legislation the UK gone through against handguns and locking knives actually removed guns and knives from the hands of criminals? Or, has it only served to removed guns and knives from the hands of law-abiding citizens?
It's society that's the problem, not the humble knife, parent's need to parent, and teachers need to teach, and most of all the under 21's need to have a lot more fear of the consequences of there action's, and not see it as a means of social advancement
I'll go to work, flip out the blade on my Farmer to open some boxes, and STILL my collegues recoil slightly when they see it
Where I live sometimes you'll see guys walking thru Wal-Mart with a big fixed blade knife on them and it barely raises an eyebrow.
An old saying in the US is that guns or knives don't kill,people do,and it's a published fact that all the states that have allowed concealed carry, crime has gone down.
We are fortunate, aren't we DTH?
Soon we wont be even carrying our little Vic Classics, as they are murder weapons you know
Thanks for the input guys. So what do the UK members here carry, MT wise in your pocket, do you only carry when at work so you have an excuse or do you regularly carry tools anyway. Would you be afraid to say, carry... a Charge/Wave/Core/Skeletool etc because of the blades, or even just carrying a SAK?
