By: This article is available online at: http://bit.ly/knifeguide I. Introduction California has a variety of criminal laws designed to restrict the possession of knives. This guide has two goals: • Explain the current California knife laws using plain language. • Help individuals identify whether a knife is or is not “illegal.” This information is presented as a brief synopsis of the law and not as legal advice. Use of the guide does not create a lawyer/client relationship. Laws are interpreted differently by enforcement officers, prosecuting attorneys, and judges.

That moment when an author dots the last period to his manuscript, and then rises up from the study-chair to shake its many and bulky pages together is almost as exciting an occasion as -when he takes a quire or so of foolscap and sits down to write the first line of it. Many and mingled feelings pervade his mind, and hope and fear vie with one another and alternately overcome one another, until at length the author finds some slight relief for his feelings and a kind of excuse for his book, by writing a preface, in which he states briefly the nature and character of the work, and begs the pardon of the reader for his presumption in undertaking it. A winter in Kashmir must be experienced to be realised.

    Improvised Weapons

    Updated Apr 2009 The purpose of this presentation is to make you better aware of the numerous improvised weapons and ingenious hiding places that have been created and are in use by today’s criminals. The majority of the material used in this presentation comes from various law enforcement officer safety bulletins throughout the world. This presentation attempts to combine information from those bulletins into one easy to view presentation. In the interest of keeping the focus to the threat on hand, many of the circumstances surrounding the identification of these items has been removed. Knowledge is safety. Unless you stay informed, danger will find you… Improvised Weapon Any item that has been designed, modified, or disguised to function as a weapon. California’s Dangerous Weapon Law (12020 P.C.) 12020(a) PC Any person in this state who does any of the following is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in the state prison: (1) Manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, lends, or possesses any cane gun or wallet gun, any undetectable firearm, any firearm which is not immediately recognizable as a firearm, any camouflaging firearm container, any ammunition which contains or consists of any flechette dart, any bullet containing or carrying an explosive agent, any ballistic knife, any multiburst trigger activator, any nunchaku, any short-barreled shotgun, any short-barreled rifle, any metal knuckles, any belt buckle knife, any leaded cane, any zip gun, any shuriken, any unconventional pistol, any lipstick case knife, any cane sword, any shobi-zue, any air gauge knife, any writing pen knife, any metal military practice handgrenade or metal replica hand grenade, or any instrument or weapon of the kind commonly known as a blackjack, slungshot, billy, sandclub, sap, or sandbag.
  • Wayne Thompson V. Commonwealth

    Wayne Thompson V. Commonwealth

    PRESENT: All the Justices WAYNE THOMPSON OPINION BY v. Record No. 080445 JUSTICE CYNTHIA D. KINSER February 27, 2009 COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA The appellant, Wayne Thompson, was convicted in a bench trial in the Circuit Court of Arlington County of violating Code § 18.2-308.2(A) by carrying concealed about his person, as a convicted felon, what is generally known as a "butterfly knife." The dispositive issue on appeal is whether the evidence was sufficient to establish that Thompson's butterfly knife is a "weapon of like kind" to those weapons enumerated in Code § 18.2-308(A). We conclude the evidence was not sufficient and will therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals affirming Thompson's conviction. RELEVANT FACTS AND PROCEEDINGS In accordance with established principles of appellate review, we state the facts adduced at trial in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth as the prevailing party in the trial court. Riner v. Commonwealth, 268 Va. 296, 303, 601 S.E.2d 555, 558 (2004); Armstrong v. Commonwealth, 263 Va. 573, 576, 562 S.E.2d 139, 140 (2002). We also accord the Commonwealth the benefit of all reasonable inferences drawn from the evidence. Riner, 268 Va. at 303, 601 S.E.2d at 558; Armstrong, 263 Va. at 576, 562 S.E.2d at 140.
