Butterflies in Virginia ?

Balisongs were, on the whole, put into the banned category after they appeared in numerous bad martial arts flicks in the 1970s and 1980s. They were victims of Hollywood, or Hong Kong in this case, imagery just as the switchblade was victim to Hollywood imagery in the 1950s.
 
did my last post make absolutely no sense? sorry, i was reading another law type thread in another forum, and in my mind combined the two.
 
I think that what it comes down to is this: If you are caught in the procession of a crime, you are screwed. If you are a law abiding citizen, then you are ok. Now, if you are a law abiding citizen and you had to use mentioned balisong, that I dont know. I am going to say that in VA, more than likely you are going to be ok, but I think you are now playing the odds game and I belive that it also depends are where you are at in this wonderful state.

just dont do it is williamsburg /james city county, the cops will try to say they are going to arrest you for threatening the president witha deadly wweapon, even if the president is on the other coast. (mostly that sarcastic remark was because of my discontent for teh WJCC police department due to their steriotyping of my friends who have gotten pulled multiple times for "street racing" and speeding even when they were going exactly at the speed limit just because they were "suspicious... o im sorry looking arabian in now beign suspicious) [/rant]

but seriously WJCC police go over board on a lot of stuff

Thanks for the posts. Exactly the sort of info I was looking for. Delcid v. Commonwealth looks like the sort of situation that seems to be inflicted upon us from all sides these days. One convicted felon says he is carrying a weapon and the inanimate object is now demonized. Not arguing with the posters; just frustrated (continuing saga).

"Yes, Officer, I am carrying a weapon", the man said, pulling a previously concealed Bic pen from a jacket pocket. "Weapon?", asks the surprised LEO. "Sure," the man repllies. "I can slap this steel-pointed plastic thru your eye socket and into your brain faster than you would ever believe."

And so, concealed carry of Bic pens in Virginia becomes a felony. Other states follow suit in copy-cat fashion. Bic company stock tanks. Liberals pat themselves on the back sufficiently hard to create repetitive stress injuries; end up suing themselves into bankrupcy. See? There is always the possibility of a silver lining in that otherwise nasty-looking cloud.

The silver lining here would be that with no pens, these touch holes would not be able to sign anymore ridiculous unconstitutional bills into law!!
