And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Ho ho! Perfect to pair with the war hammer, but, try to explain why you have this to the police.
Curiously, a spear isn't one of the dangerous weapons mentioned as malum prohibitum anywhere in the CA Penal Code, AFAIK, except within state parks. Unlike, say, daggers, throwing stars, brass knuckles, and blow guns. However, you'd probably have to have the spear point covered with a sheath to prevent a charge of "brandishing" for merely carrying one.
Not saying the local constables wouldn't stop you to have a chat, but they'd have a tough time citing or articulating any chargeable offense. As long as you weren't in a state park.
Everybody who's ever seen Anthony Hopkins in "The Edge" knows that a spear exactly like that is *required* to defend against all the marauding bears in the neighborhood.
In Tennessee you can have what ever the phuque you want. Double edged daggers, switchblades, no problem. Bought an amazingly good quality 4" old style switch blade this summer, new, unmarked, at the local flea market. For $15, because of the price, I expected pure crap, so I inspected the hell out of it. Works xlnt, has a safety, could find no reason not to get it. I've had $300 pro switch blades before, always sold them. It took and holds an edge.
Tree limb pruner ? Frog gig ? Fence vine cutter ?

When has not being able to cite or articulate a chargeable offense stopped an officer from arresting anyone just because they can?

They're not all pricks (only about 90% of them), and you can sue the stupid ones for fun and prizes.
DeleteNone of their business.
ReplyDeleteCause I wanted it.
ReplyDelete2:45am is right.
44 inches long, call it a boar spear even if the handle is a little short & the cross piece a little small.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an arm to me, one I'm entitled to keep and bear for any reason or none.
ReplyDeleteTrash pickup, why do you ask, officer?
ReplyDeleteI've got a knife that screws onto a broom handle , paid about $15 at big5.
ReplyDeleteIt's none of the cops business. I don't have to explain shit.
ReplyDeleteAs much justice as you can afford.
