Box Cutter a Concealed Weapon

[metaldoc]

This from an article in the York News Times regarding the court hearing a man brought up on drug charges.

And as far as carrying a concealed weapon, that was a box cutter I had at work.

Recently, another article reported a man carrying a pocketknife in his pocket during a robbery was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

I'm not defending these guys for the crimes they committed.   Just wondering how box cutters and pocketknives become concealed weapons... that interpretation makes a lot of Nebraskans guilty of carrying a concealed weapon and even if one had a CC permit,  that doesn't cover knives.

Thoughts?

5: Knife means any dagger, dirk, knife, or stiletto with a blade over three and one-half inches in length or any other dangerous instrument capable of inflicting cutting, stabbing, or tearing wounds;

 In Nebraska (this is state law, some local laws stupidly may vary) the court would have a difficult time attempting to prove that anything with a smaller blade (like a box cutter) would be a "concealed weapon" unless the person had demonstrated some sort of direct intent to use it as a weapon.

Bwahahahahha


As far as the subject matter.... I'm growing weary of the b.s.

I wonder how hard it'd be to live your entire life on a boat in the middle of the pacific / atlantic ocean.

I'm getting older, slower, and I'm frail and easily bruised.  I'm no threat to ANYONE.

At all. 

Nope.

We all face that realization eventually.  Perhaps you should consider buying a gun...

What, carry a DANGEROUS WEAPON?!  Someone might get hurt!

Kellermann says it'll probably be someone in my house!  Wintemute says it'll be someone that I love!  And police chiefs in large cities in Nebraska say that I wouldn't be able to use it well enough for self-defense purposes! 

No, no, that just seems a bad idea.*

Jt besides that some thing we shouldn't let you wander around on your own. 

We in Nebraska are behind the times AGAIN!
