The Second Amendment is a double-edged sword when it comes to people having knives for self-protection, according to a lawyer representing a man being prosecuted for carrying one.
“You can get a CCW (carrying a concealed weapons) permit for a gun, but you can’t get a CCW permit for a knife,” said Catherine O’Meara, court-appointed attorney for Sean Michael Linston, 31, of Detroit. “Common sense tells you a gun is much more dangerous than a knife.” |

| Not a problem in Florida. Our permit is entitled "Concealed Weapon or Firearm License", and it authorizes carrying any concealable weapon that isn't specifically prohibited by law. |

| A firearm can make a hole and not kill the person, a knife making a hole will more likely kill! |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
