I think what jcar is trying to say is he doesn't have a malicous intent as others do when they walk through those school doors. He is talking about only using a knife in a situation were defense is needed. I've been in a robbery first hand in my home its not cool at all. I know you have the right to defend yourself in your own home, but when something that serious happens to you, you change. If someone was to rob me now in public I wouldn't just lay down as I did before. Its best to be prepared and never have to use it then not be prepared and not in control of the situation or even be able to defend yourself. I see the laws as I would see them in my own home, but the right to bear arms I beleive goes hand and hand with self defense. This is what I see as freedom.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
you just dont get it... :nilly:
 
I totally agree and as I said I see the laws as I would rules in my own home, this is the foundation and principle our nation is built on. I wouldn't drink and drive but I have the right to get hammered at home and enjoy my lazy boy just as much as I do shooting my guns that I legally own with a permit and liscence. I dont carry them around with me though and go looking for trouble, there is a difference, and I know and understand it.

No, YOU just don't get that carrying a knife at school is illegal. Period. End of Story. And I hope you get caught and arrested if you keep doing it. You can't justify doing something illegal.

True, it is illegal to carry a knife in school, an airport, bus, or any form of public transportation and in certain zoning areas as in a school zone. But what happens when you turn the corner and you are out of that school zone and in a bad neighborhood? This is where the line has to be drawn with better law enforcement in rough areas, but this will never happen and is why it still goes on today.
 
dude why are you so hung up on knives in school? for the record, ive been out of school for three years now. i could care less what the laws of a school are, it doesnt affect me anymore and i never got caught so there you have it.

and stop being so immature, why would you hope i get arrested? thats like me saying i hope you get shot, stabbed or mugged at your junior high school

If you break the law, you deserve to get arrested. I hope that you are not encouraging breaking the law. If you aren't breaking the law, then you shouldn't get arrested. If you are, then you should. Simple, isn't it?
 
ok if you say so. its 5pm and its friday. time to start my weekend :headbang2
