I think a lot of the knife and other weapon laws were written before you could legally carry a gun.The_Vigilante wrote:Let's see, I can carry a firearm which can inflict a lot more damage than a baton, billy club, etc. Why not a baton? Wouldn't it be preferrable to use a baton to defend yourself in cases where a gun wouldn't be an option? No loss of life! Wonder what the reasoning is on the restrictions of batons?
Also, they were probably written to target specific minorities.
