did you post that you carry a gun on that one thread though? idk what its called CCW or something of the sort. idk why its not CCP or something. permit. anywhosle. That stinks happened to my cousins boy friend who borrowed luggage and it had a pocket knife in one of the pockets.

No I don't carry any firearms, I don't even own any firearms that I COULD carry. The only firearm I own is a hunting rifle, which may be the thread you are remembering?

maybe not, i could just be crazy. :gj:

Nah you need to move to IN or TX to get a license to carry a firearm on your person I think.

I know here you cant carry butterflies or automatic folders or boot knives that are longer than 6 inches. You can have them. Just cant carry them. I keep a spec plus in my jeep door pocket but if i get pulled over i tell the cop about it and they never care as long as im not trying to conceal it.

BG!! You said your still a kid! That would mean you still play with knives! :banana:

Used to flip butterflys a lot when i was a lot younger, it was kind of "cool" back then with my lads, but i really got upset when one of my buddies got in a situation when this "toy" turned into a weapon and ruined his life, it was kind of a self defense thing, but without of that "toy" two young guys still would be alive, one stabbed and my buddy commited suicide 1 1/2 years later because he could not get over this thing....
Still my edc knife is an CRKT M16.
Be careful, carrying weapons means responsibilty!

Thats never been an issue for me. I was raised around weapons. Always facinated by them but always responsible. Im against those trying to take that right away from us. Its terrible that you had a bad experience like that with you friend and I can understand. Thats really no different than shell shock or PTSS. One bad experience can cause a permanant problem. Im still a knife collector though. I hope to never feel the need to use any weapon in self defense because I dont want any reason to be without the things I love to collect and play with. My knives, dragons & of course,,, my snakes :snake2:
