Imagine the different services having different color vehicles.

Close neighbors won't appreciate folks w/o fire service, or that hire idiots

Darndao bump.

If a three foot sword is considered an “offensive weapon”, what would they consider a “defensive weapon”?
A ban on swords isn’t uncommon. If I have a permit, I can carry a concealed .44 magnum handgun in Newport News, Virginia. I can not carry a sword, dirk, Bowie knife, switch blade, throwing stars, Nunchucks ...

Doesn't the 2nd Amendment cover the right to keep and bear ARMS? It doesn't say "guns" or "firearms".

Article IV
Section 1.
Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.
Also according to our Constitution the carry permit of one State should be honored in all States.

Look up The Offensive Weapons Act in the UK. Bans anything pointy, basically. You can be busted for possession of a Swiss Army knife if it is not directly related to your job and you are either on the job or directly coming or going to work. And if you get caught giving something pointy to a minor, forget it, you'll never see the sky again.

There is even a law banning Combat Knives, which are not defined.

Exactly. You should see my 9-yo. He is something else.

On first read I read “yo” as “yo-yo”. Visions of a kid with a stainless steel yo-yo and he knows how to use it! The forward pass would be pretty effective.
