getting caught with a bm 960 at disneyland

[SPOOKYSHOGUN]

My 2 cents (maybe a bit more). Since the knife carry issues at various establishments nationwide seem to be based on a "knives are weapons" mentality, then treat your knife as a weapon or at least start understanding it has the possibility of being used in that context because both cases are ultimately true. Weapons are a natural part of the balance in nature.

So, take that mindset and----------------------------------------------->

1. Carry a legal knife if you can but if you can't then carry some other kind of equalizer or impovised weapon because you are responsible for your own protection and empty hands don't mean much when SHTF.
2. Don't advertise your knife or any other weapon. Conceal it if you need to or are able.
3. If your knife is spotted and you are asked to remove it from private property then leave and take something else back in or don't frequent the establishment anymore.

By the way: The bad guys will continue to out gun those who concern themselves too much with human laws vs. the laws of nature. It's time for people to stop being wrongfully ashamed about weapons in general if you ask me. If you don't carry a weapon of some sort, you are either dutifully submissive or outright ignorant. In both cases you are easier prey.

Oh and............I always take some kind of weapon into Disney Land

Ooooh, funny Hoover Dam story coming up!

When my father died in Arizona, I went down and settled his affairs and then filled his Aerostar with guns and ammo and other possessions and headed northwest. Got to Hoover Dam about 3:30 PM, sun blazing down, and the DHS dude waved me over into the "special attention" lane.

Him: "Sir, we have to search your van or you'll have to drive around."

Me: "If I allow you to search my van, what will you be searching it for?"

Him: "Explosives or chemicals that could damage the dam."

Me, scratching my head: "Um, isn't the dam made of many tons of concrete and steel? What could I possibly pack into a mini-van that would even scratch it?"

Him: "I'm sorry sir, but that's the law."

Me: "Hmmm. Okay. What's your policy on guns?"

Him: "We don't care about guns, but how much ammunition do you have in there? More than 1000 rounds is prohibited on the dam."

Me: "Well frankly, I have no idea how many rounds I have. I had 3 days to pack and ship all my dad's stuff, and I threw the ammunition in wherever it fit and never counted it. But if you want to stand here in the hot sun and count it all, I'll stand right here with ya."

Him: "Well, you better open it up and we'll take a look."

So I get out, go around and unlock the side door, and pull out a box of fishing tackle, duck calls, assorted pocketknives, and some .22 shells. He looks it over, hands it to his buddy, and says, "Doesn't look like there's more than about 200 rounds in there. Is that all the ammo you got?"

Me: "H*ll no. My pistol case is behind the seat with 60 or 70 rounds of .357 and a box of .30 carbine. You wanna see those?"

Him: "Sir, are you stopping on the dam?"

Me: "Nope, I'm just trying to make it to Tonopah before dark. I'm 1500 miles from home, and I have to make it back by Saturday."

Him, sternly: "Okay, I'm letting you cross, but don't stop on the dam. We'll be watching you closely, and you'll be in big trouble if you stop. Just keep going, and have a nice day."

So I never got a chance to mention the 10 gallon cooler full of shotgun shells under the rear seat, or the other cooler full of smokeless powder and primers for reloading. He probly would have soiled his garment. Across the bridge I went, and a lady with a baby stroller was waiting at the crosswalk by the visitor center. I couldn't help myself, and yelled out the window, "Look out, ma'am! I'm under strict orders not to stop on this dam. It's a matter of national security - I'll have to run you right over!"

Got a couple weird looks, but then I was in Nevada where they don't even give that behavior a second glance. Whew!

That right there is what makes me feel better. A police officer doing the same thing as civilians. I know the places that dont allow knives but i feel so much safer having atleast some type of protection. I always have a small knife on my keys. But i have been trying to find a way to keep my tenacious with me as well. But ya Rick I salute you. Im a future police officer and there is an officer at my old highschool that had no choice but to kick me out of school (i was a visitor seeing my girlfriend) I had my tenacious with me. The officer on the campus knew me and understood exactly why i had it with me. I was telling him how its second nature for me to wake up and slip a knife into my jeans and leave. When i got into his office to talk to him he then pulled out his new knife ( a CS recon 1) and he was talking about how he wanted to get other knives and i told him about some other knives to look at and we talked for a good hour about knives until he was like ya you should have been kicked out by now.

Sorry for rambling just wanted to thank you Rick

You're welcome!

Good luck getting on the job. You'll love it!
