[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Maybe he's all about the challenge of making broken systems work...or he's engineer enough to see where he can take advantage of the system and become filthy rich! Remember us when we need that last minute pardon, Omega! [QUOTE]Originally posted by Da_bang80: [qb] I carry my kershaw knife everywhere I go, I use it as a tool at work just like a screwdriver, even though both can be used to stab people... [/qb][/QUOTE]Which perfectly illustrates the difference between a [i]weapon[/i] (like a gun) and a [i]tool[/i] like a knife. My Jacob's Ladder is a weapon- as is my ceramic floding knife- but I dont carry those around (and the 'Ladder is just something I bought because it's so weird). The whole "assisted opening" thing on knives like switchblades is an intimidation thing- and it's not used for multi-use knives, and so is illegal. Really, I think it's the useage of something that determines weither it's a weapon or not. Besides, switchblades are obsolete- my lockblade, with a hundred uses, opens at the flick of my wrist. Maybe lockblades could not do that back in the 50's, when spring-loaded blades were invented? [/QB][/QUOTE]
