With a few exceptions (brass knuckles, explosive devices, spring-loaded stilettos, etc) thats how the law is in my state; A knife is not automatically a weapon. A knife (or frozen turkey leg) is legally a weapon if you use it as a weapon. There might be some municipal ordinances that I'm unaware of though.

I think it's great that Knife Rights is standing up for common sense.

We need to outlaw criminals and not the everyday items that they might use. Common sense dictates that the criminals will completely ignore knife laws just like they ignore other laws. Thats why we call them criminals.
