Ernie would eat the knife if he tried that.

I really think this law got all messed u in the writing and was primarly aimed at keeping long bladed switch blade knives out of the hands of kids. Of course the bad guys can still get them easily. I now carry my gun and sword in the car. Nothing hidden about the sword and it will easily outreach one of the dopers with a 10" blade.

Shortly after I discovered how neat wire strippers were I hardly ever used my knife again.

As a young computer engineer, I had my teeth notched for 26, 28 and 30 AWG.

Yea, they sure work a lot better don't they. No nicks that will cause the wire to break at the first bend. I must have a half dozen different types left over from my days working and they get a lot of work.

Hey Ernie, when you get your Cobra over here are you going to bring it out and let me see it?

Your better off with just the gun. Carrying a sword in California in your car for protection is a felony. Besides a gun has even more stand off capability.

Normally true but it you have special permit to have one in the car then it is ok. I don't take any of them often unless I am going to show them to another collector. The gun is my main tool of protection and with the dope going out of control around here it is getting to be almost a necessity to carry one if you are going to walk down any street. And has ammo gone out of sight. I just returned from the range and the high velocity personal protection 147 grain is now $35 for a 25 round box.

I wouldn't be any good with a sword in a fight any way as I never trained with them.
