For that price, I sure hope it's "tactical" black.
Going a bit OT.I have read D. Rearic's articles,the are not to bad.Just a guy doing his own thing I guess.I do feel bad for the UK members.They have been put into a posistion where defending themselves and bieng ready to do so has to be totally hidden from the law.You guys must have to put up with alot of nonsense.Is training in martial artsa problem as well?I hope it never gets like that here.Hope I did not offend,I do mean any offense towards the the UK members.Dtrain
Exactly, as much as I would dearly love to walk the street's ready to counter any threat to myself and other's, the laws are such that to do so would involve you spending an awful long time behind bars, watching other people raising your family
The law may well be an ass, but your a bigger one if you don't at least attempt to adhere to there silly and shortsighted law's

Most get community service or similar nonsense. Those few that do go to prison serve amazingly short sentences.The number of knife carriers actually locked up in the whole UK in a whole year was laughably small - 20 or so IIRC.Basically, the whole knife ban situation is one big government scam. The government lacks the resources - courts, prosecutors, and prison slots - to lock up even a tiny percentage of the people caught with knives.Quote from: micky d on June 09, 2008, 12:14:38 AMThe law may well be an ass, but your a bigger one if you don't at least attempt to adhere to there silly and shortsighted law's Over many years, I have carried guns and knives on my person in violation of various local laws in a number of places across the USA.Never had any legal troubles because of it. Off course, I don't go looking for trouble and will usually go out of the way to avoid trouble.If I was busted, I could probably beat it in court on grounds of an illegal search. If I didn't beat the charge and was convicted, I'd be given a non-custodial sentence. First offense, no criminal record, etc..
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to agree with my fellow Mod's on this Ringzero, what your saying is tantamount to inciting people to carry arms Add to that the fact that even a small amount of jail time will get you a criminal record, and it's hard enough to find a job over here as it is!While you are entitled to your opinion, I would urge my fellow UK member's to ignore your coment's and further more ask you to refrain from making them.
