I was wondering, are any of the other prohibited items under CA state law like sword canes, lipstick and belt buckle knives, knuckle dusters, etc. illegal to own or legal to own but not to carry?
So it seems switchblades over 2” in length are okay to own and keep in your private collection as long as you don’t carry them but you’re pretty much screwed as far as those other items go. Sad to see even D guard handle swords could land you in hot water.
It appears nunchucks are legal for official martial arts trainers to possess but they’re not okay for civilians to have. So ridiculous.
On a related note, I've seen cases in California where the cops entered peoples homes, with the owners consent, either in response to the owner/occupant reporting a crime or some other issue, or the cops wanting to question the owner/occupant about a crime, and when the cops see an illegal weapon hanging on a wall, or in a display case, the owner/occupant finds themselves under arrest for possession of that illegal weapon.
That is something for people to consider if they own illegal weapons, and only keep them at home, but have them on open display. People often don't expect the police to enter their homes, but then someone breaks into their car, they call the cops, and when the cops show up they invite the cops in to file a report and forget that they have an illegal weapon on the wall. Or they don't know it's illegal, and they find out the hard way.
