>>It is a matter of much greater concern than a concealed handgun. A handgun has many uses for which there is no substitute, other than killing a human being<<<br><br>With respect, Sir, while it may be possible, I have yet to see anyone part a rope, open an envelope or a taped box, or spread peanut butter with a handgun. I am not aware of any handguns that come anywhere near the versatility of a knife as a tool. I have nothing against handguns- in fact, I would carry one if it were legal for me to do so- but I do not follow your logic on this point at all.<br><br>>>Other than stabbing someone, what can be accomplished better with a boot knife than a sebenza? <<<br><br>"Other than stabbing someone"? How is stabbing someone better accomplished with a knife that was carried in a boot than with one that was carried in a pocket? <br><br>>>Prosecutor's (me included) tend to look at a boot knife as an "ultra" concealed weapon.<<<br><br>""Ultra" concealed?". I'm unfamiliar with that as a legal concept. Or a practical one, for that matter.<br><br>I don't wish to offend, but I have to say that I'm distressed, and somewhat alarmed, to hear that the law is being prosecuted in such a seemingly arbitrary and capricious manner. These criteria sound like they've been made up on the fly, not based on either the intent or the letter of the law.
