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! |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
